Here's part of an article on NY Times today (part of the conversation with Obama's sister in Kenya). Obama can't even remember his first meeting with her. Or it could be that he changed it to look better in his book.

Strangely, Obama places his pivotal first meeting with Auma at a Chicago airport rather than the Greyhound terminal, where she says it happened.

“I pulled into the airport parking lot at a quarter past three and ran to the terminal as fast as I could,” Obama writes in “Dreams.” He goes on: “Panting for breath, I spun around several times, my eyes scanning the crowd of Indians, Germans, Poles, Thais and Czechs gathering their luggage.” Then he sees “an African woman emerging from behind the customs gate.”

This appears to be one of the “lapses of memory” for which he excuses himself in the introduction. I’m not sure how a bus station morphs into an airport “at a quarter past three,” but I’ll excuse him; the courage and intellectual honesty with which he quested for often painful memory are singular. “He can be trusted,” says Auma, “to be in dialogue with the world.”

Buy the election Obama!

A lot of hungry kids out there could use the money. You really did a two-step on public financing.

I guess Hillary was right, experience does pay.

She had 2/3rds the money and won 3/4 the states..

55 million and he could not win ?

Are you people sure you want this Inexperienced fellow running all of our money?

This is just awesome! I was one of those donors, and will be again. Go Obama!

I am so Glad. It is time for Obama to shine, don be too nice shoved it off. You are too much of a gentleman, know your opponent she is not a lady, although she was the FIRST LADY. Hillary thought she had the upper hand when she rush to publish her contributions for Feb. Only to find out that she had the lower hand……

All the Hillary supporters, I hope you can get a tax deduction, becuase that is all you are going to get for your money. HILLARY HUCKABEE has a major in MIRACLES, because the math is not there……………..

BYE, BYE HILLARY, SAYONARA, HASTA LA VISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VIVA OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me ask this question of all you:

when all is said and done, and we have a democratic nominee:

if it's Obama, will all of the negative Obama supporters here be welcoming the former Clinton supporters to rally around the candidate or will they still be too uneducated, too corrupt, too blind to the "truth" to be welcomed as part of the Democratic party?

and if it's Clinton, will all of the negative Clinton supporters here be able to find common ground with the Obama supporters or will the Obama supporters be too blinded by the rock star status, too full of hope and short on experience to unite with?

when will the members of our party quit blaming the CANDIDATES and start taking responsibility for their own divisive actions, their own hate mongering and negativity and unite THEMSELVES? The candidates are going to continue with the back and forth. That's the point of the campaign process. But when will the members of the party drop their stereotypes and their hang ups and come together?

The caucus in Texas is a big ripoff. In my precinct, no-one even bothered to check our cards to see if we had voted in the Primary. They just said, "Fill this form out, write in your registration number and sign it". The votes were counted by Obama people. If this happened in other precincts and other states, I can see why Obama wins in caucus states! I wouldn't brag about underhanded deals.

Jack: Yes, and he is going to get more…since I will be giving again.

To all my brother and sisters, white/black/hispanic and others, donate the money to Barack's campaign. Get on his website and donate. It is time for us young people to take over the White House. Let's keep the energy and energize Barack's campaign even more. We can do this!!! Yes We Can!!

Help Barack, McCain intends to bring back the draft! Give up the money!!

Hola!!

Why is it, that you Billary supporters are forgetting that it wasn't even suppose to be competitive in OH or TX…she had a 20% lead and lets not forget, a few republicans voted for her, just to slow Barack down.

And once the caucus vote is complete in TX, it will be Barack that really comes out on top….and why won't she us her tax returns??

Oh yeah, CNN…why aren't reporting in the headlines that it was the Clinton campaign that contacted Canada about NAFTA…you guys really have been hoodwinked by Hillary's whining!!

Obama '08—All the way to White House!!!

And obama still couln't win ohio and texas??? CNN forgets to mention that he spent that money.

Proud to be a small part of that number

I love how people point out she won TX & OH, he had been down by something like 20 points to her in the weeks leading up to the primary and managed to close that gap. They also forget to mention the Barack WON lots of states in February; VT, WI, MD, VA, DC, SC, ME, LA, HI, GA, WA. In all he has won 27 of the 41 contests so far, the means she has only won 14. His lead is pretty much insurmountable and she should really consider stepping aside for the good of the party.

Obama '08!!!

Curiou observation how the media is trying to make the connection of how negative press toward Mr. Obama could have made an impact in the elections on March 4th, but still fail to go further to the connection of how they've affected the perception of Hillary and her campaign over the last 3 months with a constant barrage of negative media toward her.

What is equally as strange is how now it is accepted/encouraged by the media and seems to be the strategy when Mr. Obama goes negative in his campaign, which they and the media have been very critical of Hillary for supposedly doing.

She won 3 states and is still behind 150+ delegates. The only way she can win is if the super delegates overwhelmingly go for her. She's done with and is in it just for herself, not the democratic party, now. You are all mentioning he lost 3 out of 4 yet fail to notice he was down 20+% just two weeks ago. Ohio and Texas favored Hillary big time with the large Hispanic and low-income families. Everyone also seems to forget he won the 13 prior contests by an average of 17%. Stick a fork in her.

Obama has beaten the democratic system of voting on caucusses as he has learnt how to win the caucusses better than any one else. May be a Harvard lesson he learnt.

Why are people dogging Obama because he lost 2 states? Remember he previously won what 11 in a row. What is said is that Hillary had to use her own money to fund her campaign. Experience is nothing if it has led us to the Iraq war.

I'm Obama's age, and I'm a little sick of her belittling MY 24 years of experience in my career. That's a big reason why she is losing and losing BIG among those under 50. Her entire experience is from getting Bill or herself elected. That's a pretty narrow life-focus to consider herself qualified to be President.

Gee, I guess that Oprah made another deposit into Barack's account??

Jorge from upthread you make an excellent point! Not to mention that all the Huckster supporters will not roll out and vote for McCain in November UNLESS Hillary is on the ticket so that they can vote against her. Why doesn't the HRC camp see this? Obama appeals to republicans and independents. Ohio was a small setback but folks in Ohio are set in their ways if you know what I mean. Ohio's the state that pushed George W. Bush over the top in the presidential election. GO OBAMA!

Remember! Hillary owes herself 5M so what ever she raises has to be netted by 5M.

I guess we should all hope that Obama and Clinton talk about joining forces… If they do not neither one of them has a chance to win in November… If you read all of your comments it seems that all of you keep "saying" you will not vote for the democratic candidate whoever it is… you call yourself a democrat???

I can not believe that the man that is running on change and talking about unity… is not even willing to talk about uniting the party… if Hillary is so horrible why did she all ready throw it out there… maybe she has come to the conclusion that neither one of them will win enough delegates… If you do the numbers they will end up within a few delegates of each other…

Democratic party has a mess that they created… they need to sort this out before half of you revolt… the half that supports Clinton or the half that supports Obama…

@ NEVEROBAMA….. he did show his records..get your facts straight….

He should be ashamed for taking people's money who might need it to feed their children or for housing.

The Clinton campaign spent her donors money on donuts $100K in one week, wow! keep giving so she can get so more donuts and botox!

CNN, you had a lot to do with it. Are you still campaigning for him or are you trying to get back to be neutral as you supposed to be. I came back after few weeks of boycotting you just to see where you're standing after your (CNN and Obama) lose last Tuesday. You forced me to watch FOX news, which I hated for years, instead. Please report the real issues instead of campaigning for your candidate (Obama) and let me watch your news (which used to be my favorite news channel).

Thank you all the hillary people for you goofy statements. Hillary won states she WAS EXPECTED TO WIN and TWO WEEKS AGO HAD HUME MARGINS YET SHE only won by small margins.

In honor of all you "go girl" types I glandly will donate some money to the Obama camp to celebrate your "big wins" (in states you were supposed to win) Thanks!

I hate to tell all the Pro Clinton supporters this but…. Obama actually won Texas.

Simple math people. Add Obama's deligates from the Texas Primary + Caucus and that number is greater than what Hillary had in Texas with both the primary and Caucus.

Simple math people… really….

If Obama wins, I'm voting for McCain.

Obama is a great leader. He inspires, he motivates, he has conviction and courage. What he's earned is what he's worked hard for and he believes in the power of the people. I support you Obama!

Must be all the money funnelled through Al Quaida

Not sure where Hillary's money is really going because if you look at the two candidates and the distribution of the "Popular Vote":

Obama has won 14 states already with 60% or more of the "Popular Vote" in these states: (MD, IL, GA, DC, VA, WA,HI, NE, MN, AK, ID, KS, ND, and CO)

Versus

Hillary has only won 1 state with 60% or more of the "Popular Vote" in this state: Arkansas (only).

The hysterics raised by the Omamafia have contributed to him raising record amounts of money – yet he is still managing to lose despite pounding the public with ads touting 'change, hope, future, vision'. Haven't any of you ever noted that he does not say things first – he says them AFTER others say them, or only RESPONDS to what others say…. he is not a leader, folks. He is the type of person that would be merely a figurehead. That's not what we need when we are in such crisis as a country. WE NEED LEADERSHIP. Can't any of you read body language? He is a HUGE megalomaniac… haven't you watched him BASK in the applause? Well, those of you who feel he should not worry… watch his body language during his speech after losing Ohio… he was ANGRY. He did not expect to lose, and he took it very badly. My family has lived in this country, fought for this country, died for this country. My husband is currently stationed in Iraq – his second over one year tour in the last few years. (This one is 15 months total.) We remember the Clinton years… and we are BOTH voting Clinton, no matter what – as is every single member of our rather large military families.

Ha, too bad he couldn't win TX and OH with all that money. Won't do him any good in PA either!

I imagine a lot of disgruntled parents getting obscene credit card bills from their college age kids.

This clearly shows who the people want to be the democratic nominee. It's so sad to see that the only reason why Hillary one Texas & Ohio is because she used scare tactics & double talked her way through every position.

I seriously hope Obama wins every primary from here on out.

NO MORE HILLARY (sorry, felt like I had to use caps since all the Hillary supporters have done so previously)

This shows that Barack Obama is better at handling money and finances. He would be able to get us ( the U. S.) out of the financial crisis that we are in.

Audrey
Surprise, AZ

YOU PEOPLE THAT WANT CHANGE … WHAT KIND OF CHANGE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT … BESIDES SKIN COLOR ? ? ? ? …OR

DON'T YOU EVEN KNOW ? ? ? ?

AND IF YOU DO ??? HOW WILL IT HAPPEN ?

WHERE IS THIS SO CALLED CHANGE LEADING US ? … THE POOR HOUSE ?

YES WE CAN ! sounds so pretty .
(((YES WE CAN WHAAAAT ?)))

Change ? (((CHANGE WHAAAAT !!!)))
MAKE YOUR CANDIDATE EXPLAIN THINGS.

Don't just schlep along behind him in a stooper !

The numbers are still in Barack's favor. Hillary needs to maintain a 56% minimum win rate in every remaining primary to erase her delegate deficit, while Barack only needs to maintain 46% to keep hios advantage. In other words, he could lose every primary from now until the convention by 4% or less and he'd still be #1 going into the convention.

GO BARACK!!!!!

I contributed $25 of that.

WOW

Any unlike Hillary he did it with no money from Lobbyiest!

Hello all you Hillary supporters, last time I checked the delegate count Obama was ahead. Hillary would have to basically win all the remaining states by extremely large margins to obtain the lead and that isn't likely to happen, so GO OBAMA!

I'm with you KLM Hillary has truly lost my support from her crying who got what pillows from the media, who gets the first question, black folks and Irs fillings. I'm a registered republican and have voted that way since I was 18, except for Bush's 2000 stealection (smile), but I'm voting for Obama this go around because the man has substance and character and desire to implement change with the help of the American people and thats the kind of leadership we need Simple and Plain. And isnt it Ironic that a man who can bring america together is of a mixed heritage that says something about America, speaks to what we really stand for here.

Obama 08 ……….Si Se Puede "Yes we can"

And how many people in the US are starving and homeless and people hate giving them handovers?? If individuals have that much to donate, why are so many crying about the economy. Maybe the money's not coming from individuals???

Hillary Clinton shut down Obama's momentum this week. It appears that Obama is finding it difficult to get a grip on his campaign.

Obama is short of realizing that it is not possible for him to secure enough delagates to win the Democrat nomination.

Obama tries his best to "up one" on Clinton, but fails to acknowledge that the Republicans did not "whisper" as he previosly bosted about.

Obama has many questions that still need answering, such as: What has Obama done while in Senate to bring Democrats and Republicans together?

Dear Hillary Clinton supporters,
while you were out (this past month), you failed to notice a substantial deficit in the delegate count. That being said, now would be a good time to return from vacation back to reality.

Gracias

And who do you think STOLE his fundraising strategy???? None other than Ms. "I can do better than him" Clinton. Yep, he's got the smarts and judgement I'm looking for in a President!!!!!!!

….And oh yeah Hillary, he's a fighter also, you're not the only who can claim that!

"So how much did Oprah contribute to that?"

Oprah can only give as much as the rest of us can. Being on TV does not somehow entitle you go contribute more than someone else. The most she could have given was $2300 for the primary…I guess the other $54,997,700 must have come from someone else.

Contributions are in the public record. If you really want to know, look it up.

Unlike Clinton, Obama does not take money from lobbyists. How about you ask Clinton how much of her money came from them?

How about you ask Clinton to release her tax returns? Aren't you curious where she got the $5 million she lent to her campaign?

THE POWER OF THE POEPLE !!! WE ARE MANY !!!

Visit barackobama.com and make any small contribution you can afford. Join us, be part of the movement !

Money can only get you so far Sen. Obama. As Ohio goes, the nation goes!

Rod: LMAO…"Hillary pretty must lost TX and Ohio, winning nearly is not even a win?"

I guess the giants didn't really win the superbowl then?

I can't believe CNN actually posted something like this. This is just one piece of evidence of the blindness and stupidity of some Obama supporters.

How fast everyone forgets that Hillary lost 12 in a row. He lost three states and not by much. Even with the big states that she won, Obama is still whipping her behind with the wins from the smaller states.

All you Hillary folks need to realize that Tuesday was the "Beginning of The End" for her campaign. After all the delegates were counted, Obama WON Texas, and will win both WY and MS this week.

There are not enough delegates left on the table for Clinton to make up the difference. I hope you enjoyed the party Tuesday, though.

Hillary=McCain Lite

Same ol song and dance.

OBAMA 08

bush clinton bush clinton.. HELL NO

JUST SAY NO TO ELITE SCUBAGS LIKE BUSH AND CLINTON!

I guess it is SILLY season in politics.
I'm switching sides people.

The new age politician, the agent of change turns out to outspend everyone in history just to buy himself the nomination.
I guess his own page and chapter in history is worth the money- especially when the cult idiots keep throwing it at him.

Why don't you all pick a charity to donate it to?
AFRICA could use it better than her African son, Obama, who is already a millionaire.

Rod: LMAO…"Hillary pretty must lost TX and Ohio, winning nearly is not even a win?"

I guess the giants didn't really win the superbowl then?

I can't believe CNN actually posted something like this. This is just one piece of evidence of the blindness and stupidity of some Obama supporters.

I can vouch for this, I was one of the first time contributors in February and I will continue to contribute to his campaign. Barack will prevail!!!! Hillary can't same the same for her fundraising methods!!! Barack Obama, the next President of the United States!!!

And this is the man that wants election reform???

He forces others to continue to raise more and more just to match a third or half of his advertising.

What would this near $100,000,000 raised have done for real causes?
He talks of waste in Washington as he campaigns like money is limitless and throw-away. Perhaps it is for him.

But not for working Americans.

Great reform, there. Great economics there. Great for the people there.

He inspires. He incites. He divides. He spends. and spends. and spends.
Perhaps he is the second coming, perhaps his spending alone will spend us out of this recession.

You failed to mentioned the Obama campaign spent 47 million on Texas ,Ohio and Rhode Island outspending Clintion 4-1 and still lost .
Goes to show voters are starting wake up and looking for someone to deliver rather than inspire .
CLINTON 2008

FOLKS ARE JUST WASTING THEIR MONEY

OBAMA THINKS HE CAN BUY VOTES?

THANK YOU OHIO AND TEXAS FOR VOTING FOR HILLARY.

GO HILLAY!

Republicans are sending money to Obama. They want him to be the nominee and not Hillary. It is easier to beat someone with little experience and questionable connections than someone like Hillary that has been fighting for the little people since God knows when.
I think she was working in the Goldwater campaign, so that would put it about 40 years. She looks good for 70.

Rod: LMAO…Hillary pretty must lost TX and Ohio, winning nearly is not even a win?

I guess the giants didn't really win the superbowl then?

I can't believe CNN actually posted something like this. This is just one piece of evidence of the blindness and stupidity of some Obama supporters.

8% of the Texas vote that Clinton received was from REPUBLICANS!!!! Guess how many votes that turns out to be…a little more than 100,000….

She beat Obama in the primary by 3%, or a little more than 100,000…

Hmmmm….does any one see anything eyecatching here…

Maybe Limbaugh and Coulter have a little more influence than we give them credit for….

Just some food for thought…

Seems to me if the Democratic Party wanted to end this fight they could do so today…

Solution: John Edwards and his 23 pledged delgates

If John would come out and endorse Barack Obama, his lead would be that much larger, and it would allow cover for super delegates to go to his side….then they could put him over the top.

This would be well within the rules and be fair.

Nobody is reporting this angle…John Edwards holds the key from keeping the Democrats from tearing the party apart…ad it is the responsible thing to do….standing aside is standing for the Republicans.

Florida and Michigan would be side stories…

This proves the people want Obama…No money was wasted. its not as if Hillary won big. Overall, he is winning and will win the nomination. Ohio had always been in her favor.. She only won Texas a 3percent margin…and how do those two slight wins measure up to his trail of 11 wins. I think the message is clear. Obama is the one. If he does not get the nomination its because he is too good for our corrupt government.

Yes We Are.

First of all, give credit where credit is due he is making moves…
So what Hillary won on March 4th, she is still behind in the polls…so take that…

OBAMA '08

Funny how all Obama mentions is how much he raised… he neglects to mention:

1) He spent two times as much as Hillary
2) And all it got him was a tie

This guy comes off like a whining crybaby…

When Obama wins, Hillary congratulates him…
When Hillary wins, Obama bashes her and calls her wins irrelevant (he's done this everytime she wins something)…

Go Obama I'll donate some more as soon as I tell everyone that
The Rezko trial started and you were NOT ON the witness list !!!!!!

SARAH, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT US CONTRIBUTING 55 MILLION DOLLARS TO BARACK OBAMA. WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE UP TO . WE NEED AN HONEST GOOD DECENT MAN TO BE OUR PRESIDENT.

NOT THE SLEAZE CUNNING WOMAN. TELL HER TO KEEP QUIET.

NOW I FIND OUT IT WAS ALL MRS. CLINTON AND HER STAFF ARE THE ONES WHO WANTED TO MUDDY UP OBAMA'S NAME REGARDING NAFTA. GO BARACK GO

Actually, Obama and Clinton split the states on Tuesday. Clinton won Ohio and Rhode Island, and Obama won Texas and Vermont. Yes, Clinton won the primary portion in Texas, but the caucus portion was won by Obama by a much larger margin. Thus, Obama won more delegates from the state, and in do so doing won the state of Texas. Clinton gained at most 8 delegates from Tuesday's elections, and that increase will easily be cancelled by Wyoming and Mississippi over the next week. So, Clinton is in worse shape now, because there are so few delegates left to be won. By the way, Obama has received at least 7 new superdelegates since Tuesday, while Clinton has received 1.

Hillary supporters have a short memory. It's funny to hear them say "he only one one of 4″…how many did Hillary win post Super Tuesday? 3 out of 15! How many has she won in total? 14 out of 41! But…whatever makes you guys feel better.

Anyway…Go Obama! I'm glad you Hillary supporters are arrogant now and think this is going to be a breeze. Obama is resilient and he is coming back harder and tougher. Clinton brought up Ken Starr…thanks for opening up a can of worms!

I donated in January, February, and again Tuesday and today. 1 Million donors strong!

Yea!!!!. we MUST donate more!!!!!

Hello President Obama.

Help us Obamanize the White House please!

12 wins out of 15..Can't you all Billary doomies / zombies get that?

Obama forever like Lincoln!

All you Hillary supporters are hilarious, give up already. You keep making fun of the fact that Obama only won 1 out of 4 yet you are still a good 100 or so delegates behind. Remember, you only cut into Obamas lead by about 20 . Congrats, big win for you guys! Why don't you look at the numbers before you claim your HUGE 3 state win, especially when the real front-runner is still, well at the FRONT.

Proud white woman over 55 that donates to Senator Obama and will continue to contribute. He is the candidate of choice, the one with integrity, intelligence, experience, and cares more about the American people.

After winning 11 in a row and about to knock Hillary out, he lost in both Texas and Ohio after outspent her by 2-1. This is troubling sign if you ask me.

I donated $25, then $50.. but obviously its going to take a lot more. Increase my next online donation to $100, whatever it takes. The money is coming from the people like me, to all Hillary supporters who find this hard to believe, good luck with your candidates special interest groups matching this number.
The funny thing about this campaign is, I do not vote for Obama to benefit me. I already have health care, his tax cuts will hurt eventually and me but if $175 will get him elected he will be able to provide healthcare to people who really do need it. In the end he will never have to bow to special interest groups such as Gun, Tobacco and Alcohol Lobbyists.

I seem to recall a news report that Hillary had to loan her campaign $5 mill out of her own money?

Hmmmm.

Vow amazing that shows that country is ready for fresh new direction i guess!!!!!!

Bill had made so much money after being the x president with all those dealings with foreigners. thats why they dont want their tax records out yet.

be part of the movement everyone!!!!! its time!!!!!

lets make history together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we can do this

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!

Geez, Billary wins a couple of states (3 actually) and you'd think she's to only viable candidate. Fact is Billary wrote off a whole bunch of states just to make a stand here, and she was just under 100,000 votes of being written off completely. Not that impressive. At least Obama is contesting all states in accordance with the party rules agreed to by all in advance.

I'm going to keep on giving $50 every paycheck until he beats Grandpa Munster in the General Election!

KLM – you make no sense – you support a Democrate but if the one you want doesn't make it then you will vote Republican.. that makes no sense – remember the last 7 years – or are you so nuts, you think Bush has done a great job which McCain wants to continue .. come on … at least think what you are saying before you actually do it..

gggeeeezzzzz – the stupidity of some people.. no wonder our country is going to pot..

Bill and Hillary have owned the Texas vote for years. The face that, altho she eaked out a win, the race was close enough that it isn't so much a big victory for Hillary as it is a case of barely holding on. Had Obama another week ot two on the campaign trail Hillary would have likely lost the state entirely to Obama. Coming up from being 20 points down just two weeks before the vote says more about his momentum than it does about Hillary's scarce win.

I used to be an Obama supporter but after TX & OHIO, I realized that he cannot close the deal, cannot win the big Democratic states so I will vote for the candidate who can win the important Blue States who is HILLARY!

Yes, Obama has the money but at the end, it is the integrity & the qualification of the candidate that matters to the people. Bottomline is HE CANNOT LEAD! Hard decision, but this is for the better. I WILL VOTE for HILLARY!

Hardly suprising he raised that much money when most of his funding is coming from the middle east…. Be careful what you're electing America !!!!

What the Billary fanclub doesn't realize is, money doesn't buy votes. You don't realize the contrast between the Obama and the Clinton campaign. Obama's has an emphasis on donors (we the people), while Billary focuses on the dollar dollar bills. Obama did not start off on an even plain in Ohio and Texas, he had an overwhelming disadvantage but managed to close that gap considerably.

NEWS FLASH TO HILLARY SUPPORTERS: If you don't reside in California, Texas, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, or Michigan, you are irrelevant (irrelevant being the keyword here).

This money didn't help in OH and TX, did it? And, stop… people who are saying Obama is leading delegate point but this doesn't mean he can or will win. Here is why

1) A democratic candidate needs 2024 to be a norminee but both Hillary and Obama could short of that number. And hence, no one can be nominee without that number even when one is leading more delegate number than the other.

2) This is because DNC didn't count FL and MI. Remember, Hillary won in both states big. At one point, they have to come back and redo something in both states.

3) In fact, the winner in swing states (FL, PA, OH) matters. Those 3 states can't be counted as republican or democratic states in general elections and hence, whoever winning in those states will win in general election.

4) If you have winner-take-all policy, Sen Clinton will be nominee by now as Sen McCai.

It is amazing how all the Clintonistas have changed the rules of the game. HILLARY CLINTON DID NOT WIN THE OTHER DAY.

SHE NETTED 5 DELEGATES. Stick a fork in her, she is cooked!

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand how trying to win by outspending your opponent, going negative (which is not new as the Ohio flyers were definitely negative), accepting money and support from unions (which are definitely a special interest group) or spinning everything is a change in politics. Not that I don't think that there's a lot to the positive/change message, I just don't see the talk being walked.

Old style politics is old style politics no matter what words it's wrapped in. I really wish that politics would change but I don't believe that they will from within. Let's remember that MLK drove change from outside of Washington politics not from within the political machine.

OBAMA supporters you demonstrate what they mean when they say: THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA

I am happy to see all these Obama fans see through the latest Clinton Spin Campaign Tactics. Hillary will lose because she doesn't have this type of support.

I am another proud donor to Barack Obama. College student donating $20 whenever I can.

FYI TO BOTH SIDES: The media is relishing in it's ability to influence voters. Don't be a victim! Use your own brain.

Money can only get you so far Sen. Obama. As Ohio goes, the nation goes!

All those Hillary lovers forget about her 12, let me say that again, 12 LOSSES IN A ROW. Oh that's right I remember, those contests don't really count because unless she wins, then for a variety of reasons that state doesn't really matter. Lucky for Texas they pulled through because Camp Hillary was getting ready to discredit that state, too. I hope all you Hillary lovers bask in your "momentum." Congratulations on your netted 9 delegates, I guess that leaves about 141 pledged delegates just for you to catch up.

He spent all that money and couldn't win Texas and Ohio. More like he spent all that money to close Hillary's so called lead over the course of the last few weeks leading up to the primary, which is why she went dirt ditch negative on him.

Last checked Obama was leading in the Texas Caucus still being counted-up…which means Obama would leave Texas with more delegates, technically winning Texas, according to Democratic Party procedure…look it up people.

Spent 45 million of it and… wait for it…. kept her from getting any delegates out of states in which she had a HUGE lead only 2 weeks prior.

OBAMA WINS.

To all Hillary supporters: She didn't win Texas! She won the primary but the caucus is still counting and so far Obama is leading. So shut up!

oh no! Obama has been waving his magic wand again!! making everyone give him money!!
ahh save us Hillary!!!!

Imagine so many disappointed Obama supporters in November. More than 50% of Hillary voters will vote McCain if she is not the nominee…
American people are not going to be impressed by Chicago style politics ( a lot of "wind", corruption), no substance..

I am very proud to have made history by being one of the many first-time donors to the Obama campaign in February!

Obama is a breath of fresh air. He is exactly what we need in this country. New blood.

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way to go!!!
As a college student I dont have much but I did contribute a little as did many of my friends!!
We are republicans but we want to see CHANGE and we believe Obama is the one that can unite and lead us in a new direction.

Hang in there Obama and don't let these politicians bring you down!!

Blah blah, so Obama is a sore loser with money? That's quite an image.

The other 10 million came from OPRAH. But that's ok right??

Since when is raising a disgusting amount of money just to blow it on a campaign, admirable? People are starving out there. Can you imagine what you could do with that money?

Why don't the wealthy Obama supporters just send that money somewhere where it is needed and can do some good? AFRICA comes to mind as a noble cause. Yes, you COULD!

You all really are young and have no wisdom.

I notice the Obama supporters really insult anyone with a different opinion. They call Clinton Supporters stupid and ignorant and uneducated.

Funny, but most of the Clinton supporters are the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings of the Obama supporters.

So you insult the very people who loved you and nurtured you and educated you. Obviously education is no substitute for intelligence and common sense.

Obama supporters epitomize and illustrate the saying: THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA.

Yikes, the gloating and negativity of Obama's supporters has really hurt the democratic party. They continually attack both Senator Clinton's and her husband's character while refusing to look closer at their own candidate. If she is indeed the candidate to run against McCain, your efforts may have delivered the presidency to the Republicans. I know my choice for president isn't perfect but she's the best we've got and has demonstrated through a lifetime of public service her commitment to America. Can Obama say the same? I do admire his ability to raise money, I guess, and his speeches, albeit void of substance, are delivered well.

Hehehe……well i guess it just goes to prove even with all that money and Oprah…he still couldn't win in Texas and Ohio.

I LOVE the line that Mr. Obama still managed to lose Texas and Ohio after outspending Ms. Clinton 2 to 1. Such an interesting take on the reality of the situation. Let me start by saying that yes Mr. Obama did lose Texas and Ohio and even Rhode Island and only managed to win Vermont, good job for the fans of Ms. Clinton, however, befroe they get all cocky they should remember that less than a month ago Ms. Clinton was leading in the Texas polls by slightly over 20% and in the Ohio polls by slightly under 30%. I would say, based on the polls, he spent that money well, he still leads her by over 100 pledged delegates and is closing in on her superdelegate lead quickly, she has about a 90 delegate deficiet she has to make up, to see how nearly impossible this is there is a delegate counter on slate that can show you.

Two to one against Senator Clinton, but still lost. What a pity way to waste money.

We the people have spoken…

GO OBAMA!!!

Yes we can…

THERE ARE NO CAUCUSES IN NOVEMBER.

Jenny, this money is from all of us voters that "don't matter" the small people of the world that can give their $5, $10, $20. This is the first campaign I have donated to because I believe in him and that WE can bring the government back to the common people. I am a white 43 yr old male, making under $60,000 combined income and have donated $50 to his campaign, can I afford it – no, but my family knows he will bring our country together instead of polarizing it if Billary gets in! Obama 08!

Someone has to point out to all these nasty Clinton supporters on here who don't know how to act grown up and mature that

YOUR CANDIDATE IS STILL LOSING. BIG. Her wins on Tuesday did nothing to tighten the delegate count. NOTHING. Obama will largely make up those loses in the next two contests. Grow up please. And read some more news so you can be better informed.

Rod that is matched ! And I'll raise you a $ 100.00

Hillary wins 3 states after Losing 12 in a row and some of you idiotic hillary supporters are acting like A) she is still behind on popular votes B) still behind on pledged delegates and C) has no chance of winning the nomination and D) the fact that more regular americans are contributing more than the big businesses are to her means WE STILL HAVE THE MAJORITY.

End of Game

OBAMA 08

Power of the People.

Wow, the Hilary supporters in here are exactly the politics I despise. I also like the fact that the majority of that money is coming from small time donors, people like me. Remember, the people who the candidate represents are the people who give the money. Wonder where Hillary gets her money from? I pick Obama because I agree with him on more issues, and I really don't like the campaign Hillary is running. But whats up with this Hillary's supporters IN YOUR FACE kind of attitude?

Big deal the money didn't help him on Tuesday.

jorge, sorry to burst the obamafog wrapped around your head and others,, i am one of the most democratic people in this state ,, i started with jimmy carter in 76 , i was 12 years old,,, in nc,,, thinking to my self , what a great party to work for,,,,, sorry, if the pied piper of chicago wins,,, for the first time in my adult life,,, i will vote republican,,, how that may seem to others, that is my choice……….as it goes against every thing i have ever believed ,, but no snake oil peddler will recieve my most valuable thing that was given to me by my family from the year 1776 to the present,,, they have fought in every war , my right to vote,,,,,,,,,,,, as to klm ,, to each choice we will have made,,, let us hope it was chosen wisely…….greg bosworth,, pinehurst nc

Betcha By Golly WOW, 55 million dollars all given with no strings attached by the common people across this great nation. That should say a lot for the man who stands to unite the American people and not divide them. The republicans surely are looking at the campaign contributions to the Dem's with fear. Hillary did well with 35 million, but come on the BIG "O" is the people's choice. In the end there can be only one, MAY IT BE BARACK OBAMA!

Excellent! And now the only thing that's helped Hillary even raise her $35 million in Feb. is copying Obama's ingenious fundraising methods…from the bottom up instead of her elitist/old fashion top down version. She even says "Yes we will" now…And I'm to believe that she's the one with experience? As for as Texas and Ohio go…it's a victory for Obama to even lose within 20 points in Ohio since that's not his support base and its also says alot for him to only lose by 3 pts in Texas wherein her so-called Hispanic base was to do so well. Remember that in Texas only 18% of Afr.-Am. voted so clearly a lot of hispanics, Republicans, Independents and whites must have also voted for him. Two weeks early, he was trailing Clinton by double-digits and within a short period, he almost beat her in the polls and is likely to beat her in the final Texas Caucus. Also, Americans should be weary of giving there White House to two political dynasties so easily. Clinton loses 12 states and all of a sudden the race is new and the only test that matters is Pennsylvania where she also has a natural support base much like Ohio? Obama will just need to do respectably in Penn. because he would still have won Wyoming, Miss., and North Carolina in the coming weeks. You all act as though Cali, NY, NY, Conn, etc. wouldn't already be blue states regardless of the candidate. Obama is showing that some other states may actually go from red to blue. JFK didn't win Ohio and neither did some others.

Obama is raising a lot of money but where is it coming from. Also, with everything that Mr. Bush is leaving behind when he leaves the WhiteHouse next year, do you really want our Commander is Chief who has no experience in charge of our country, I don't. Experience counts in my book.

By the way we can't have someone in office who buckles under pressure and can't answer a question when he doesn't have his advisors present. Tell me something new Oboma, i sure hope you can walk you talk. It takes more than words to be the leader of this great country. And no you are no JFK and Michelle is no Jackie!!!!

Come on People, lets be smarter this election than the last two elections. I was one of the smart people that didn't vote for BUSH.

Mr. McCain means 4 years of Bush.

Bring on Mississippi and Wyoming. We can easily erase those ten-or-so delegates that Mrs. Clinton netted on Tuesday.

@Jenny: Obama is raising this from people like you and me: average folk. I know at least 5 people who have chipped in a couple bucks here and there for Obama. None of us had ever donated to a campaign before.

Obama '08

Hillary can't win TX or Ohio in the general election, and check the caucus in TX. Why does Obama continue to extend his lead in the caucus count?

OBAMA! Hillary won in terms of numbers on Tuesday, but made NO dent in the delegate race. It was a net gain of 4. That is nothing meaningful. Who cares that Texas is a big state, she didn't win it by enough. There are many states to go- states that count even though they are small. Don't discount the little states, and don't discount little people. Clinton claims she fights for the little people, when really she just walks all over them.

i don't want another dirty politican running my country

OBAMA '08

The amount of money he has raised relates to the will of the people who desire change. We don't need a candidate like Hillary who is polarizing and attacks Obama on his speaking abilities. We all have gifts and talents. What matters is what we do with them. We all must ask ourselves what are we doing with the talents we're given. He has decided to use his talent to help others and inspire others that it takes the people to alter the future course with this country. Hillary, refrain from attacking Obama on his speaking ability and ask yourself, what talents or gifts are you using to improve our lives. She speaks of having a president for the well off and well connected for 7 years and now wants to be a president for her constituents. Obama considers his constituents to be the people of this country……meaning everyone.
He speaks of being our brothers and sisters keeper and thats what we should be doing. Instead so many are consumed of self. It's time to end this you're on your own mentality.

Obama 08!!!

Hillary is a lying cheatin theif. i say screw her and good ol boy Jonny Mcfakin..

If Hilldawg gets the nom, im voting Nader..

I totally agree with Jorge. I'm an Obama girl all the way. If by some chance Hillary and Mcain are my choices for a president, I'm moving to Canada.

Now Hillary PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!!!!

OBAMA'S comes clean, nothing to hide…. So where are your tax returns Hillary???????!!!

Yeah he's a FIGHTER as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama for President!

Why do Hillary supporters think he wasted his money? He had to spend more money he was challenging her big lead in those states. He will emerge from Texas with more delegates. He managed to cut her significant double digit margins in OH and TX from just a couple of weeks ago. Hillary will net 4-12 delegates from Tuesday. That gain will be erased after the caucus/primary in WY and MS. The math isn't there folks. Read Jonathan Alters new article in Newsweek on just how it ain't gonna happen for Hillary. Sorry folks. God don't like ugly. Hillary's campaign has been real ugly.

Can all the Hillaridiots remember that although Obama lost Texas, he won't a majority of the delegates. Hillary and Obama's winnings on Tuesday pretty much canceled each other out. Not to mention he is stepping up in superdelegates. Wyoming here we come! Obama is the man for the job. BARACK OBAMA 2008

if you have ever raised kids you know that you have to tell them a hundred times and they still have to learn the hard way. the older folks are trying to tell the younger ones again the question is will we all have to learn the hard way. all politicans are crooked in some way and besides that what was the clintons ever found guilty of besides improving everybodies living standards in the 90's.

WTG Obama!

I'm proud I gave to the campaign…

Now,heres a little advice. Hillary has no problem spinning the truth, when it's about you. So, start hitting her back with all the documented facts and scandals,that she's involved in. ASAP!

Wow! That's HUGE. To all you Clintonistas, that money bought him huge gains where he had been down by 20 points or more in some states. He may not have won them all but what did Clinton win? 10-15 delegates? LMAO! What, that's it??? Some comeback! The super delegates for him keep on rolling in since Tuesday almost wiping out her gains since then. It seems his investments are paying off more than hers wouldn't you agree?

"We are the ones we have been waiting for"
-Obama

I am so proud of you, Senator Obama!! I am honored (unlike that woman who is supposed to be a candidate also) to be a part of this great movement. We are one million strong: young, old, white, black, brown, asian! I am over 50 white, wealthy, feminist, and female. I live in the DC metro area and we are SICK of Hillary's antics. All my friends are with you too!! we are happy to donate and we will put you over the top!! Keep on fighting!! YES WE CAN!

It seems to me that folks are forgetting something very important here. If Hillary Clinton is "picked" as the nominee there is no way she will win in November. The only way she will be the nominee is if she is in fact "picked" by the superdelegates. That would be suicide for the Democratic Party.

Pride is one thing but common sense is what is needed now. Hillary Clinton's negative, race bating, republican -like tactics will already leave a significant scar for many of Democrats. If Obama is not the nominee we will have at least another 4 years of republican rule. There is simply no way around it.

Every superdelegate should commit now for Obama and save the party and, by extension, the country.

At least he did not have to contribute 5 million dollars of his own money to his campaign. Interesting she scratched up 5 million pretty quick and wont release her tax records. Wonder who is paying her bills???? As usual she is bought and paid for just like Bill. Please bring back the Clinton years I want to have another laugh and another cigar!

The Clinton's are liars and her supporters are shallow minded. Just observe their jubilation after throwing dust into the eyes of voters in TX, OH, RI but didnt work in Vermont. But surely the truth will come to light and every American will know dubios Clinton and her team are. Barack is gonna win in '08 and '12. He is the key to a strong and united America.

Barrack for the Oval Office

Clinton supporters can't count or read! I guess hooked on phonics didn't work for you!

Obama has won 13 of the last 15 primaries/caucuses! He is still leading in the pledged delegates and picked up four more super delegates since March 4 and received more delegates in TX!

Considering Obama was down 20 points two weeks before March 4 in OH and TX! He did well! The money did help! So don't hate congratulate! No other campaign in history has been able to raise $55,000,000 in one month.

Get used to saying President Barack Hussein Obama!

"We are the change we have been waiting for!" Obama

Logically, you can't win a US presidential election without getting a first taste win of a delegate-rich state.

Arithmetically, Michigan and Florida are stil not counted. The delegates should be seated.

Calculatively, who are the other donors? Al-qaeda donate for Obama, obviously.

Nowhere does it indicate he spent this money down to nuthin' like you know who. She had to loan herself (Source please! 2006 tax returns please! Business dealing documentation from Slick Willy please!) enough to get by until her floundering campaign had to beg for money. No one is making a desperate plea from this side. We are donating voluntarily because we BELIEVE in our candidate; not just believe it is his/her turn (or their turn if you must) again or believe in the win-at-any-cost (and insult voters in states where you didn't win and expect them to vote for you again) to get there mantra. Eight years was more than enough first time around, thank you very much! I honestly could not stomach another news cycle with all that is half-truth, spinnin', lyin' and triangulatin'. But that would all depend on what the meaning of "is" is.

why don't we just appoint whoever raises the most money President?

TO those who say "Hillary only netted 10 delegates on Tuesday":

She did rack up her count in the popular vote though. When Florida and Michigan are counted, Hillary is winning the popular vote. When only Florida is counted, it's roughly 50-50. There goes Obama's argument that the person who has the most delegates AND wins the popular vote should win the nomination.

How do we settle this one?

Keep the good work going Barack Obama.

More funds are on your way. I am very proud of you. I am very pleased that the Canadian Govt. is looking into the NAFTA situation and I am proud that they had apologised to you. I hope they punish the person or persons who wanted to put you down.

Please beware of mrs. Clinton, they are very cunning people. They do not care about the poor, needy, hungry, homeless, no health insurance. THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES. SHE HAS TRIED HEALTH INSURANCE SO MANY TIMES AND HAS FAILED MISERABLY.

GO BARACK GO.

Don't let him buy this election. It is far too important for money to be the thing that puts him over the edge. Come on Hillary supporters-dig deep, give and speak-up. With a fraction of the money we won in the single most important states to date. Hilary 08!

This money is coming from WE THE PEOPLE! We will eliminate the politics of old and bring on Mr. Barack Obama, the greatest uniter in recent history.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

hillman-you are stupid, ignorant and probably uneducated as well. Kids pick on you as a child??

OBAMA!

CNN,

It is time to show your impartiality and report the news! What is going on with Canada and Camp Clinton? You were very quick to discuss ad nauseum Obama's financial chair and his meeting with Canada, even after they publicly came out and said i was being misreported what was discussed. Howver, you have been very quite about the news coming out of Canada about HRC's team REQUESTING a meeting with Canada about NAFTA.

What's good for the goose…

Obamarrhea

That was a wonderful loss in Texas, when he will end up with double the delegates. Stay tuned. As for my state, they were obviously fooled by the Clinton double talk. He is a wonderful fund raiser along with his team.

Hillary supporters,

Take a look at the scoreboard. Lets see if you can win 12 straight.

Hillary can only win the traditional Democratic states. She's hated by the right so much that if elected she would not be able to push an agenda. Also the do nothing Congress will not be able to help her because they are hated even more by the population as a whole. Vote for Obama, a unifier. Besides, she won in TX because of the republican cross over voters and promising the world to Hispanic voters. They are soon to be fooled.

Yes, it is ordinary people like us that keeps funding Obama campaign; not personal contributions from the Billary Clinton's without showing us a tax return!

That reminds…let me go donate one more $500 to OBAMA CAMPAIGN !

DOWN BILLARY AND HER DIRTY POLITICS OF SHAME!

YES, MY DONATION COUNTS!

YES WE CAN!

VOTE OBAMA!!!

What great news and for the first time I will be a contributor for Obama's totals for March. Stay above the water line Mr. Obama America is with you and loving it. Finally after years of frustration I finally have hope.

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of Hillary supporters are uneducated. Unfortunately they're like bush supporter, blind and don't see how dangerous she can be to the world peace.

55 MILLION WONDERFUL, I AM DONATING HALF OF MY PAY CHECK THIS WEEK TO PRESIDENT OBAMA…

OBAMA ALL THE WAY, LEAD US TO THE PROMISE LAND.

Not sure why people are saying the money didn't do him any good. Yeah, he lost some states. States where he was projected to lose by a lot before he started campaigning in them. What was Hillary's lead in TX a few weeks ago? 15 points? These are proportional elections, winning by 2% doesn't really do you much good. Its also a little odd to count Texas a win for Hillary since the caucus is still being counted, and that will probably make up for Obama's loss in the primary. He could very well get more overall delegates from TX.

As a conservative who doesn't have much at stake in this primary but finds it very interesting, I'm always amazed at how democrats can be so into one candidate and hate the other when their platforms are so identical. Also, Hillary fans just seem really nutty and delusional. The persecution complex gets old too.

If this is not an omen of things to come for hillary, I don't know what is.

Way to go Obama fans who will vote for McCain if Hillary gets the nomination. I think its fans like you that are tearing up the dem party, not Hillary and not Obama. Think first before you do that please!

Big deal….. what a waste!! There are really poor people in the U.S. who could have food on the table instead of a tv commercial. Get real !

I'll Match you Rod with $101.00 dollars for Hillary!!!!!!

Does anyone ever wonder why Hillary is afraid to make her tax information public. Just wondering.

Obama has the best supporters; Very impressive!

OBAMA IS STILL THE FRONTRUNNER!!!!

wow all that money and he still cannot defeat Clinton…raises more money, spends over twice as much and still crying..he should go play some more basketball ..

In South Carolina, Clinton's negative campaigning backfired. In Ohio and Texas, her negative strategy that intensified a few days before the vote turned the tide of Obama catching up to her. A few weeks before, the polls had her way ahead of him, but he was catching up fast.

Yes, she spent less… and she used it to do Rovian fear tactic campaigning.

Yes, we know Rovian tactics work. To me, it goes to her judgement and integrity… that she would use such tactics to win.

If this is what 35 years of experience has taught her, I don't want it.

I guess the republicans are happy at us cutting each other over two good candidates. Look fellow Dems we are handing the white house to John McCain.

Focus your efforts on uniting the party and not bashing each candidate. Obama is a stronger candidtate. He can unite the country Hilliary would make a great VP.

Let's rally to take the white house…any other outcome would result in 4 more years of Bush, and a destroyed Dem Party.

Beware fellow Dems

Obama/Hillary 08

But the real question is…

How can Obama handle a tough phone call at 3:00 in the morning when he can't answer a tough question at 3:00 in the afternoon?

Despite the media and Clinton hounds trying to dsicredit Obama, you can see by the level of donations that the average American donated what they could because they trust him to move this nation forward. I agree with KLM…if Clinton is on the ticket i'm done…but I don't believe that will happen because Obama has said ianother run with a Clinton would be the same ole politics. i do not take Ohio or Texas serious in a Clinton win..because the facts are taht the weather played an element in Ohio (leaaving the poorer people without transportation0; and the delegate lead in Texas went to Obama. Statistically, Clinton can't win this…yet she has to shame the democratic party and continue on …and many are waiting for her handout.. I seriously wish Obama would run Independent because he would surely win this thing. Right now, the only thing polotics is doing for people is making them nuts, and even more distrustful than we were.

Hillary supporters amuse me. I can't wait to see the look on some of their faces when Hillary has to walk away with her tail between her legs. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama doesn't focus all of his attention only on certain states. His money goes towards his campain to be president of the US not president of TX and OH. Any money that he did spend in TX and OH was well spent because even though he lost those states he still has over 100 more delegates than she does. Hillary Clinton may have won one battle but she is in a war that she cannot win.

I heard the other day that they were poised to announce this. But then I kind of thought they might want to keep a lid on it after Tuesday, just to avoid drawing more attention to the fact that Barack Obama outspent Clinton 2-to-1 on the March 4 races and still got his butt handed to him.

Well…if he loses it sure won't be from a lack of funding!!

However–John McCain accomplished the impossible with a much smaller budget by getting the GOP nomination.

I wouldn't count out the millions of Americans who do not believe that socialism is a path that we should stroll down. Conservative folks will likely not lay their lives and fortunes behind an untested and unorthodox newcomer with grandiose, but unworkable ideals.

FAITH

Yes, we can!!!

Hillary won in in Ohio because Baboons like rush Limbaugh and the republicans sent out fliers and emails asking republicans to vote for her and WHY!!! because they know they can beat her in the fall
thats almost traitor like in my opinion and should be against the law!
hopefully the delegates will go for Barack as he has a better chance at beating MCBush
do your research go google Peter Paul and body count!
She is far from being perfect believe me!!

money can do ANYTHING?
look at McCain who won,but got money less than other.
Hillary is the one who can be president!!!

The whole democratic primaries is ugly to me. Racism from poor whites and latinos, sexism, scare tactics, empty words, lies, on and on and on. And this is coming from the so-called tolerant Democratic Party!

I'm done with it all. McCain, if you can get Condi Rice on your ticket, you have my vote.

First of all let me Congratulate Obama 55million wow!, I can't wait to donate tomorrow!!!!!!

Secondly why all the angry comments from Hillary supporters. See that is the thing with you guys You scream Yes she can…. We scream YES WE CAN!!!!!

And guess what i'm going to be another first time donor.
Obama 08

Obama will most likely win more delegates in Mississippi than the Clinton's got from Ohio and Texas combined.

Why is not this article headline news, like when you put HIllary Clinton railsing $30 million as a headline? Hillary's news was CNN.com's leading article, but now that Obama has raised so much more than that, his news is only in a "Ticker". Let's be fair CNN.

Tevin, Raleigh NC March 6th, 2008 2:51 pm ET

"Obama's WON 12 of 15 contests!"

The new Obama math. The count starts at his 'winning streak' pay no attention to the earlier contests.

way to go !!!! change we believe in Hillary it's on Obama TIME !!!!

obama obama obama obama 2008 You best to believe it Texas got your back !!!

If Clinton(s) is involved in the NAFTAgate, I hope that Obama competely destroys her in the remaining primaries and have her crying all the way back HOME!!!!!!!AND STAY THERE WITH BILLY!!!!!!

She was the FIRST to start the attack ads now it is time for Obama to FIGHT BACK , and guess what????? He has the $$$$$$$$…..GO GET HER!!!!!!

Mr. Obama use some of this money we paid and ask for
"Hillary's white house records"
to highlight
"her phony claim of experience".

Bring it up often until people get it.

FACT CHECK!
from FEC.gov

WINFREY, OPRAH SELF EMPLOYED/HARPO STUDIOS CHICAGO IL 60611 09/12/2007 $2300 Barack Obama

So she donated some money… the total allotment… then why do you keep asking how much she donated???

Are Hillary supporters fine with their candidate beholden to lobbyists? If that's the case, then you really aren't a true democrat. While you can claim it's just part of the system, but frankly the system is diseased. And the more you defend it; the more you allow the disease to spread. I'm sorry that you feel your option is to support a compromise candidate.

And Hillary is in the process of raising $6 million in 48 hours since Tuesday. She has already raised over $4 million in the last 48 hours.

YES OBAMA!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Ordinary people can do extraordinary things!!!

YES WE CAN

Yeah, when the Obamamites' parents get their credit card statements, they're going to be pissed!

How much of that money came from Oprah?

Wow this is amazing looks like most Americans really are looking to close the chapter of old policies and politics. I haven't voted since the 2000 elections but I didmake a donation to Obama for $25.00. This was the first time I have ever dontated to any candidate in my entire life. I hope he wins the democratic nomination so we can take McCain out…

Obama did what he needed to do which was prevent a HIllary blow out in states that were uphill battles from the start. He decreased her 20 point lead in one state to 10 and another to 3 and by the end of this month he will likely have netted more delegated than her.

So who lost again?

I just wanna add…that I am a proud "OBAMABOT" the difference between an "OBAMABOT" and a "HILLARYBOT" is when we talk about your candidate we state facts and the majority of you just go about believing everything you hear and see on t.v. waiting to hear something bad about Obama because the only way Hillary can win is by bringing him down…that was proven this past Tuesday.

Hillary has disgusted me so much that if Obama doesn't win, I will vote for McCain…
she will accomplished the same as hubby bill when he destroyed the party leading to gore's loss in 2000…and look what happened….
I will just help hillary's goals along and just vote for mccain….
she is an extremely evil, shallow, bitter, scorched earth socialist…..
she is (or should be) irrelevant in 2008 if we are turning over a new leaf in this country……
Do not underestimate how her blaming "activists", racial groups, pandering to others, telling bald-faced lies, distortions, exaggerations threaten to turn off the dem voters and independents energized and motivated by Obama….
I am one of thos Obamacans registered as republican until bush II, now maybe going back……at least mccain is conservative in policy….doesn't promote socialism…..isn't win at all costs, even tearing apart washington and our country, like hillary promises to do….

TO ALL YOU OBAMA HATERS ALL I GOTTA SAY "LOOK AT THE SCORECARD".

If what I see for responses on this board are indicative of the typical Obama supporter, I stand by my opinion that Obama is worthless and want anybody else in the oval office.

People open your eyes wide and see the reason why such great turn out. If the two canditates left in the race were Hillary and Edwards it would 've been election as usual. In a time when the economy is in such mess. Obama message give hopes to the millions who lost thier homes, job etc.

obama you are a great men a great candidate but is time for hillary clintom please be her vice- president
with respect. max
thank

CNN if you want to portray fairness …. what about giving equal airtime to the fact that Canadian Prime Minister (Mr. Harper) publicly confirmed that, the lie about Mr. Obama and NAFTA came from his aide Mr. Ian Brodie and he that it swayed the most recent votes and was unfair to Mr. Obama? By the way …. how did Mrs. Clinton camp get this information before the media? What connection does Ian Brodie have to the Clinton campaign?

Jenny: I donated $40 bucks last month. The money is coming from people like me who are sick of the hate that currently drives politics. Obama 08!

Anybody giving Clinton money at this point is throwing good money after bad. The delegate math doesn't work… she can't get the lead. Don't believe me?…. go play with one of the delegate calculators like the one at Slate.com. She would have to win by an average ratio of 60/40 or better in all remaining states…. this just won't happen.

Why on earth are you donating to her campaign? I can understand voting for her, but why would you waste your hard earned money on someone who technically cannot win?

And please forget the rhetoric on supers going against the will of the people or the large state argument.. neither matter. The only thing that matters is the delegate count and the popular vote.

Oh yeah, the news is starting to come out that Obama actually got more delegates in Texas……oops, I guess that's kind of a false win for Hillary.

I am tired of Obama supporters questioning Hillary's taxes. They should be worried about why it took Obama this long to just release the amount of money his campaign made last month. It seems to me that they took so long to release the amount because they were probably scheming on how to cover the fact that they were taking mony from lobbyists.

Obama people just don't get it. He had the momentum, he had the lead, he had the money, he has the media behind him, but he still couldn't close. That is important. Money isn't everything you know.

And BTW, maybe the reason why he raised so much money is because the people that support him besides being college kids, are the wealth bracket, who make over $100,000. People that support Hillary are blue collar workers, they can't afford to spend that much money, no matter how much the would like to.

Clinton supporter are blind just like their beloved candidate. You know what Obama did with all that money he recieves, he reduced the percentage in Texas and Ohio that Hillary was suppose to win by. She was 25 and 30 points ahead of him in those states and he reduced the points significantly, thus reducing the number of delagates that she recieved. Before Ohio and Texas, he was 106 delagates ahead, after Ohio and Texas he's 96 delagates ahead. Clinton Campaign is decieving her supporter making them believe that a big accomplishment was made, when the truth is, that weeks ago she a big lead those states and she lost that lead. Clinton supporters, scratch your head and go figure.

Obama outspent Clinton almost 3 to 1 in Ohio and Ttexas and still lost. If Florida and Michigan revote, Obama must win those states because he is in trouble. Pennsyvlania is going to be a close race but Clinton will win. If Clinton wins in PA and wins a revote in Florida and Michigan, Obama is done.

Obama 08, He is the One, it is time for some change in, i have had it with the same old players and this iraq war, as for hiliary she needs to clean out her closit before looking in others, she has alot of skelliton in there (her closit). Obama 08, lets go yes we can.

I love Obama! He is a great humanitarian. He is a Truthful,
and fair, he is a great husband and father to Michelle, he is
gentleman, he is smart, he is likable, open minded, he is a man of GOOD JUDGEMENT. He would be a Great negotiater, and will make
the same impression to Our Country, and Our World. Obama does not whine or blame the other guy when things are not going his
way. He is not contstantly threatening to sue everybody that comes
in his way. Obama has to be literally backed into a corner before
he will go on the attack. Will never lie and he will come across to the Nation as another,"GREAT NEGOTIATER". ALL UPFRONT, FOR THE WORLD TO SEE!!!!

Bill and Hillary need to go into hiding now that there own people
brought up Ken Starr's name. How stupid is that? To remind people
of the fiasco that happened to absorb most of the last years of Bill's
Presidency. The Clinton's will have no one to blame since they them-selves elected to release this trashis brought out now. Believe me, the Republicans WERE saving into be their big attack on her should she win the nomination.

OBAMA or Nothing in 2008-He is the one that brought out the
Voters-Not Hillary. If Hillary wins the nomination, the NUMBERS
of Dem. voters will drop bigtime. I believe that is a FOR SURE.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT AND NO ONE ELSE. 2008
NOT VICE PRES. TO A LIAR. IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN
THE MAN HAS MORE SCRUPLES THAN TO FOLLOW
A LIAR.

If obama gets the nomination…then it is time to vote for McCain, maybe he will place Colin Powell on the ticket for vice president…a well respected, well educated puppet-free person

I am proudly one of those contributors. People can spin this any way they want to, but my only question for Hillary supporters is why is it okay for her to attack her own party? She has been calling honest, hard-working American Democratic caucus-goers in Texas cheaters just because she cannot admit defeat (in terms of delegates) in Texas. It is so unfair that the media is ignoring the Texas Caucus and Hillary is accusing Obama supporters of being cheaters.

I simply cannot see myself voting for someone who would attack her own political party.

Jenny! It's coming from people like me ($35), and my ex ($20), and my mom ($10).

It's like Andrew Sullivan says on his blog, it's "a million little donors." And we don't expect ANY favors or recognition any bigger than a standard e-mail thanks.

Who contributes to Clinton? What do they expect in return?

you no there are people losing the there homes I don't see people talking about that 8 years of him Then there no more Obama I don't see anything getting any better Gas and food are up is anyone going to travel this Summer and is Obama going to sit down and talk to the people that do the gas. He thinks he the one people are going to sit down with forget it.

Now come on BO, show me your dealings with Rezko, and the dealing of your dear wife with the City Hospital in Chicago????
It is time we know more about you. How about campaing reform????ha??? too much double talk you would not even acknowledge your YES signature that you would do this……..
Feel sorry for Obama supporters to have gotten sucked in into the "promise of change" where everything for him is business as usual. He is a quick learner, with barely a year in the senate deciding to run for president quickly acquiring $$$$$$$ to fund a campaing of HOPE…….THIS TRULY SHOWS CHANGE. HYPOCRIT, DYSHONEST.
I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR OBAMA, NEVER!!!!

Dirty drug money from the majority of his supporters – burnout, deadbeat, GenX'rs. Then of course the Militant Black and Al Qaida funds as well. Bill Clinton was wrong to say Obama's run has been a fairy tale – it's a freaking nightmare.

This is how we do it…and I'm going to keep giving until he is the nominee for our party!!!!

Hillary Sucks! Right on Obama. YES WE CAN!!!! SI SE PUEDE!!!! and all the great things that come with it.

OBAMA '08…

$55M and he still lost in Texas & Ohio….what a shame.

Sarah, what are you talking about???
Do you think Ohio will vote for McCain??? do you think they will vote for some one who is willing to do NOTHING about NAFTA??? have you seen the polls saying that the MAYORITY of Democrats will vote Democrat if OBAMA is the nominee???
Hillary got you blind girl!

And you still couldn't win Texas and Ohio better luck next time.

Obama at least deserves the money being donated to his campaign. I cannot believe that the american people cannot see through Hillary Clinton and the Clintons as a whole. Hillary has been using sympathy to win votes, it is truly disturbing to me. I also think that CNN and the Media in general, in my opinion, are responsible for Obama's loss in TX and Ohio. He had been moving up in the polls and they were at a tie before the media decided to turn things around. Bad timing on the media's end. Also, all the TV shows looking to get the ratings, run to Hilalry's cry, her playing the victim makes some voters vonurable. It is a joke! a true fairy tale! I am so glad that Obama still outspent her, out raised her and hopefully he will continue to out delegate her. She is a snake! and I'd like to know who will she cry to at 3:00 A.M when the red phone rings. Hillary get over your clinton self.

Most of Obama's campaign money is coming from people like me – $50 at a time – just donated another $50 today, and I will continue to contribute to Obama until he is in the White House.

As a an Obama supporter, I am delighted that he has raised so much money. It shows that people are rallying in behind him and are eager for change. Thought respect Hillary for putting up a good fight, if nominated by superdelegates, I will vote for McCain.

Obama won Texas (considering the caucus delegates which will be announced in a couple of weeks.. unofficial results already indicate that he got 3-5 delegates more than Hillary).. Republicans voted for Hillary in Ohio and Texas because they are afraid that it would difficult to beat Obama in Nov. But despite that I am sure Obama will win the nomination. He closed the gap in Texas and Ohio and I think his performance in Ohio and Texas was amazing considering the odds. Go Obama 08 !!

Actually the money was well spent. Obama gained a lot of ground in both Ohio and Texas. Those were Hillary's state or have you all forgotten that already?

To all of you ragging on Obama for raising so much money and losing 4 states: WHO HAS THE LEAD IN DELEGATES?

"… Independent American March 6th, 2008 3:04 pm ET

Hillary is just wasting the poor people's money, she knows that she is far behind and it's almost impossible to catch up…"

And Obama is wasting poor parents money. The silly students keep clicking the "CONTRIBUTE" button and donating the money they don't have knowing that the parents will pay their credit card bills.

You Hilliary's fans really surprises me. Duh he won 11 straight to Hilliary nothing. Give me a break.

He better start donating it to charity or help the 40 milliion uninsured. Where is he going to spend it?

Too bad cash cannot buy him some wins and big states that matter and cannot buy him experience.

That also happens to match the amount Rezko is in debt. In debt by 55 million and yet he could have his wife get a loan to help the Obama's.

Obama give Rezko some cash, he helped you !

Also, nice to know that his Sr Foreign Policy adviser said he is "not reasy" for that 3 a.m. White House phone call.

HILLARY 2008

CNN. even you never post my comment I continue write my thought. At least let you know that Millions people never agree to you in this race. Ask your Obama? HOW MUCH COME FROM OPRAH AND REZKO? Obama, you playing negative right now and CNN doesnot talk about that. Shame on you.

Eat that blueprint for victory, Hillary.

And it's scary, the Billary Bots are really starting to come out in full force. I think all of the old Ron Paul zealots jumped ship when he went down and joined the Billary Bot fanatic club.

In case this one makes it.
Bottom line…the original NAFTA story was about the CLINTON campaign, NOT Obama!
Somehow CTV changed their story about Clinton to a story about Obama. How a confidential consular memo got into Clinton's hands is under a complete invesigation by the Canadian Government.
Same old Clinton dirty tricks…stay tuned for more flack about CLINTON on this story!.

Frankly, if I were Hillary I would be worried. She may have won three primaries (after losing a dozen in a row), but she's behind in the pledged delegate count, and she doesn't have as many people donating to her campaign as Barack. Maybe the people in Rhode Island, Ohio and Texas preferred her, but people all over the country are giving Barack much greater support. It's not just about three (or a dozen) states, it's about what America wants. And now that Barack realizes how negative Hillary will go to win this campaign, he'll retool and have a little fun of his own with the dirt on Hillary.

T from Texas – I'm a young attorney also, yet I never would've spewed that out, or the fact that I have a JD, on this board, except now -to show that you're pathetic for trying to bring your credentials into this. I know other attorneys who are brilliant, and also others who should never have been allowed to practice law. Nobody is impressed with your credentials. You must be insecure for bringing that up. Also, why did you feel the need to mention that you were white?

Sad, sad Hillary supporter you are

guys… obama is not going to be President… Hillary has opened the door for him to come together on the ticket… if he's smart, he'll get with it… becaise soon, FLORIDA and MICHIGAN will get in the game and he'll lose

When I look at the national map, Hillary has all the big states. You can call them important, uninportant, whatever, but that counts for something, and as Gloria Bourger (spelling) said, you can't win for losing, referring to Obama's delegate lead but losses of very very very important states.

Put them on the same ticket and be done with it.

And it still cant win with that much money

Talk about trying to buy the nomination.

Gee, I was wondering why he's the only thing we Ohioans saw and heard on our televisions and radios for what seemed like an eternity! I began to think he bought up every media outlet in the state! Problem is, all the money in the world isn't going to get you elected. For a man who touts "change", he sure knows how to play the politician game!

Ohh yes People, money can't buy votes and Obama compaing can't birbe votes. Dont give up Hilary
Go Hilary2008

Obviously, us Barak 's supports are willing to put our money where our mouths are … and apparently Hillary's supports are not quite so willing! They do seem to be capable of offering up a good deal of mindless ranting for their very flawed candidate. I personally have trouble envisioning her satisfiying a whole nation when see hasn't been able to satisfy one man!

Obama was trying to have a fair and above board campaign but Hillary couldn't win that way so she went karl rove all the way. Obama has learned his lesson about this piece of work and he has plenty of material to work with!

She's a nasty piece of work! Watch out hillary supporters or you might get what you wish for and drag the rest of us down with you.

First of all the ability to raise money is a fine line between refelcting momentum and intelligent organization. Obama has done a wonderful job of this. All we hear about is how Clinton beat Obama down on Tuesday. Guys, since Super Tuesday it's 12-3 Obama. She will likely earn 187 delegates to Obama's 183. Remember how far Clinton was up in Ohio and Texas polls right after Wisconsin? It's impressive that he came as close as he did in Texas's primary. The jury is still out for the caucus. Be fair in you pro-Clinton comments, because many of you sound ignorant.

"A fool and his money are soon departed."

GO HILLARY! OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.

GREAT JOB OBAMA…….WITH THAT MONEY YOU WERE ABLE TO BREAKDOWN THAT 20 POINT LEAD IN BOTH STATES TO HARDLY NOTHING…..IN FACT YOU WILL COME AWAY WITH THE DELEGATE LEAD IN TEXAS…LOL…..HER TOTAL NET DELEGATES WILL BE LESS THAN 10……IN 2 STATES THAT WERE TAILOR MADE FOR HER…….A TRULY GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT……..SHE LOSES BY 20/30 POINTS WHEN YOU ARE FAVORED IN STATES….OBAMA……DEM NOMINEE…NO DOUBT…….MEMO TO CLINTONITES…..IF YOU GET YOURE WAY AND BECOME A FLIP FLOPPER LIKE CLINTON AND REDUE FLORIDA AND MICHICAN….IF THEY SPLIT THE TWO STATES WHICH I THINK THEY WILL….OBAMA…..WILLHAVE ENOUGH DELEGATES BY THE END OF THE CONTEST IN JUNE TO SECURE THE NOMINATION

Hillary Huckabee gets her money from lobbyists and PACs.

Obama is "the people's candidate".

Time for Hillary Huckabee to give it up. Stop with the Clinton dirty tricks and let us elect someone who will create REAL change.

Obama '08

P.S. Where are your tax returns? What are you hiding?

OBAMA, YOU CANNOT BUY THIS ELECTION! HILLARY SUPPORTERS, IF YOU HAVE NOT DONATED, DONATE NOW!!!! EVEN FIVE DOLLAR DONATIONS ADD UP. EMPTY THOSE PIGGY BANKS, GET OUT YOUR CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD AND GO TO HILLARYCLINTONDOTCOM. HILLARY IS THE BEST CANDIDATE. SHE SEES WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE ECONOMY AND HAS SPECIFIC PLANS TO HELP. OBAMA IS NOT WHO HE APPEARS TO BE. DON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN. VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT !!!

He got so much and still lost???????

That's an Obamanation!!!!!!!

"$55 million a month in donations and no strings? Yea right!"

That is correct, there are no strings.

The average donation was about $75 per person. As the story says, more than 90 percent of the donations were $100 or less. $100 doesn't buy a whole lot of strings these days.

I have happily contributed $10/month since the beginning of his campaign. His website makes it very easy for ordinary folks like us to make small, regular contributions.

Unlike Clinton, Obama does not accept money from lobbyists. How about you ask Clinton about the favors she owes to those lobbyists?

How about you ask Clinton to release her tax returns? Aren't you a bit curious where the $5 million came from that she lent her campaign? She hasn't told us that yet, has she?

How about you ask Clinton why she is delaying the release of her White House records?

-Dave

Tired of hearing how Hill/Obama is the dream ticket.
Dream ticket is really Hillary/McCain.
That is the ticket.

I have to wonder where the money is coming from also..Bet mom and dad will be happy to see all the credit card bills. Money does not make you a winner, or even the best choice. If that were the case, Obama would have won Ohio and Texas, which he out spent Clinton 2-1.

CNN should be asking why he lied, whats his real ties to Rezko( and he wants us to believe he has good judgement) and why he voted present or by mistake on hundreds of bills.

Hillary still has to do more to win the democratic national convention. She has pulled every negative polital card she could to win Texas and Ohio because that is the only way she knew to win. Senator Obama has another chance to continue his momentum and I do not believe that she will make it as the democratic nominee. YES WE CAN!

Overseas money for obama funneled through so many poor persons that don't have a clue. You tell me that is not special interest groups. Come on " Give me a BREAK.

Aisha,
Billary has NO VICTORY. Do your Math and then comment. Obama excel in every area. Glad to know you support a polarizer and a loser. Similar bi-polar personalites possibly????????????????

I agree with Chanell regarding the Clinton-Canadian connection. Where's that news? As for Obama's financial strength, it is obvious. Despite the reckless, untrue, and unethical behavior of Clinton, people seem to know when to put their money where their collective mouth is and it is with Obama. Some may say feebly that Obama had more bucks and he still did not win. No kidding. Look at how little Clinton has won overall considering her fundraising. Where are the tax returns? What foreign experience does she have? It is foreign to me and that is why I ask.

I donated..

OBAMA 08!

Hilary picked up a total difference of like 4 delegates. Thats not winning and using your money wisely. Thats more of the same. She will waste all that money again and beg for more money like she did last time…
Obama for President.

That is indeed interesting, particularly given that a large number of the touted "string" of victories by Obama are in red states, primarily composed of Republicans, who will go to the GOP (as they always do) in the fall.

There is a reason, you know, that historically candidates in a Democratic primary don't try and cobble together by a victory via a bunch of caucus, red states that will mean relatively nothing in a General Election. It ends up giving the Democratic Party a nominee that doesn't stand a chance in the General Election. That is, for the reasons that strategy has potential in a primary, it fails in a General. Of course, the media — continuing its infatuation with Obama — doesn't want to mention that. Instead, the focus is always on the number of states rather than the states themselves. Hillary carried both Ohio and California handily, and many of the other key blue states by large margins as well!

If Obama had these results in a General Election, he would be woefully short on the electoral votes needed to win (as he is also on delegates). Clinton would actually be almost there.

Hillary '08!

With the smiles on some of the faces, the Chinese must be in this race.

Hey nut jobs…aka Hillary Supporters

Who gives a crap what you think?? He had to put that kind of money forth in order to even come close to the point gap that Clinton had almost 3 weeks ago. He is competing with name recognition and quite frankly I don't think he done too shabby. It's amazing how no state ever matters unless HILLARY wins. Her famous comment after her Ohio win was "Ohio got it right" so even her supporters from the other state some how screwed up. Always everyone elses fault and never the Clintons…how typical.

HAHAHHAA LOLOLOLOL.

With all Hillary's money and effort spend on the 4 states, she only got 12 MORE DELEGATES THAN OBAMA !!!!!

12 EXTRA DELEGATES !!!!…HAHAHAHA…THE JOKE IS ON YOU, HILLARY

YOU CAN'T CATCH UP. I DONT THINK YOUR SUPPORTERS KNOW THAT.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY. QUIT NOW HILLARY OR TAKE THE VP POST HUMBLY

Senator Obama's camp has done an excellent job during this campaign period. He has out-raised all candidates, out flanked his opponents by winning more states dramatically, and most of all, he has maintained a decent civil competitive race. Great Job Barack…we are proud of you as an American. Keep your head above ground, let her go negative and nasty. However, do not be afraid to hit back and HARD. Hillary Clinton is a nasty woman, that used being a female, white and rich. Just keep hitting her on the issues, while she cries and lean heavily on "her husband" and try to STEAL the election from under him. WE the PEOPLE would not allow that to happen. We will turn the Democratic party upside down. As for Florida and Michigan.. they broke the rules. WE will not sit by idle and allow them to run you out of town. The PEOPLE are watching….very …very…very carefully. The people will stand with you Barack Obama….don't forget it.

$55 million is awesome! Obama '08!

its so sad people who donate are wasting their money he want win with florida and michigan delegats counting he will loose this will go to the courts hilary will win.obam you loose

90% of the donations to the Obama campaign were $100 or less – which shows that this movement is truly owned by us, the supporters. If Hillary had the good grace to FINALLY RELEASE THOSE MISSING TAX RETURNS we might actually learn where the 5 million she loaned her campaign came from. What do you have to hide, Senator Clinton? Big corporate names? Powerful interests abroad? Now wouldn't that sit well with those blue collar workers out in Ohio who voted for you…

OBAMA '08! YES WE CAN! YES WE WILL.

I donated to a political campaign for the first time ever in February, to Obama, and I am a registered Republican. I think it is time to go donate more.

Oh, and CNN you need to break the story that Clinton's people met with the Canadian government. I sent you the newslink this morning but you ignored it. OH and that the witness list to Rezko came out and Obama is NOT on it because he is innocent here, too. I doubt you will post this, but at least you will see it.

I notice that Hillar supporters always call Obama an empty suit, and that his supporters are delusional, drinking kool-aid, and in a cult. I mean what is hope anyway.

Funny, because most of the Obama supporters are the children and grandchildren of the Clinton supporters.

And as always parents and grandparents never want to cut the apron strings…they want everyone to think just like them.

And funny when Obama supporters fight back they are labeled rude and told we are dumbing down America…. by the way THAT IS CALLED BEING BACK HANDEDLY RUDE!!

Even when the post should be a "way to go Obama for raising money" they come and bring their 2 cents like anyone cares…..

FACT: OBAMA IS THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE — DO THE MATH!!!

Hillary is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

55 million – Tony Rezko contribution = 0

Well, then why he still lost?!

An you will get more in March, Barack, don't worry………and not from the Washington lobbyists, like someone I know (HRC), but from the American people. Obama 08

Jenny,

If you read the article, it tells you where the money's coming from.

The old adage applies to Obama's speeches: "His voice sounds like the rush and exiliration of a mountain stream; but without any of the meaning".

What I want to know is what will he do with all the illegal aliens that are in the country and stopping the Invasion from the South. No one is asking this question of Hillary or Obama. Do we just guess?
Maybe he can use some of that money to pay for their medical bills that we taxpayers have to pay for. With what is left over he can pay for the public schools that educate Mexico's children. 55 Mil goes a long way.

Hillary won by small margins because she pulled a Karl Rove, got nasty, lied and spread rumors. She is a very disreputable nasty piece of work and apparently the Hillary supporters are too ignorant to realize that if they elect her they will be getting gw bush in a pants suit! Nothing will change with the exception that there would be a woman making the wrong judgements vs a man! Or have you forgotten her Iraq and Iran votes? Have you forgotten that she'd stalling on releasing her tax returns? Have you forgotten that she doesn't want her phone logs released for 1 to 2 years? Have you forgotten that in reality she HAS NO EXPERIENCE! The people that are voting for hillary are the same brilliant people who voted twice for bush!

75% of that was from donations under $100 and 50% was from donations under $25.

HRC SUPPORTERS, OBAMA LOCKED UP A WIN IN ELECTED DELEGATES ON MARCH 4TH. Ignore it all you want, HRC can only win through superdelegates. The only argument is whether that would hurt the party or destroy the party.

Obama outspends Clinton in Ohio 3-1.

The result? Clinton by 10 points.

This is OLD NEWS from last week. You know he was waiting to realsease it because He knew hillary would win Tuesday.

SAD SAD SAD SAD SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD NObama!

Lets see those tax returns Hillary?????

I don't understand the comments that say Obama lost, with all that money. Americans are airheads.

first It's mathematically impossible for him to lose. Get smart.

2nd, the money isn't what makes him, it's what makes the media story.

…and he still lost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MONEY CANNOT BUY ELECTION!!!

AWESOMEE!!!!

Some democrats think all big states — NY, CA, TEX, OHIO, NJ are automatically go to democrats regardless who the dominee is, Obama or Hillary. A big mistate. That's why democrat lost last two presidential election. Primaries and November general election is two different animals. First you select what you like to eat, but then in first Tuesday in November you pick what you need to eat — real red meat: National Security. Please, get smart.

Hurray Obama!!!
Obama 08!!!

Hillary stop attacking, turn that corner, cry about it, blame the media, then drop out!!

Obama we the people love and support you and in order to Provide a better tomorrow for all people.In order to achieve this goal, it is important that we work together with you. Keep up the Good work you are the Next President !

Same her, KLM… If Hillary is ANYWHERE on the ticket, I'm voting McCain or Nader… She is literally the ONLY Democrat in the country that I would not vote for against a Republican or 3rd party… There are many others out there like me, too… That's why Limbaugh is trying to sabotage Barack… He's fat, but not stupid… Of course, Hillary will take help from anywhere, so she loves it…

Vote HOPE, America – OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I'm talkin' about. Go Obama team! Let's keep breaking all the records.

Paul

The only strings Obama has is that he is accountable to the public that donated to the campaign.

Obama 08

I've always amazed how so much money can be raised in such a short span of time. Both senators raise money for their campaigns to travel, engage the public interest, all the while tauting what they'll do for the country. Here's a pre-nomination challenge of what they can do. Just recently the City of Vallejo closed (2) fire houses due to 9 million dollar budget deficit. A fine gesture would be to allocate a portion of their fund raising to keep those firefighters (delicated public servants) employed until the next fiscal year. We all know how devasting a fire can be to people and their property, but just image a call at 3:00am in the morning to the 911 and the firehouse cannot respond or the call is redirected to another city?

Just imagine what the elections would have been if he spent just as much money as Hilary?! She would have done 65-35

The people want Obama. Plain and simple.

Maybe he can pay for the redo of the Michigan and Florida primaries.

I just want to say that I am disappointed by the fact that American is so used to being below average that we think winning four is better than winning 20+ states. When in the world was losing a good think. It's like what we are doing now with our school system we think our children are better off learning less and taking more test. When did we because excited losers. Oh and another thing, hillary need to make her tax info available to the public because taxes are important. Imagine the public getting a glance of Bush's tax info, we want to know if she is going to pocket our money if she gets in the white house.

She won 3 states, yes. She has momentum, no? She lost 12 in a row, had a 20 point lead 2 weeks ago, then won by 10 and 3 in Ohio and Michigan respectfully. That looks like a gain in Barak's favor, meaning foward movement, meaning momentum. Im also question the notion she should be the nominee because she won the "bellweather" states. With that ideaology America should just skip all these "little states", have Ohio, California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, and Penn. vote and call the winner from thier results.

Actually raising this amount of money is what allowed Senator Obama to be so competitive in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island. Look people 2-3 weeks before the recent primaries Senator Obama was down 20% in the polls and he managed to close that gap by 3% in Texas and 10% in Ohio and although he did not win I still think that his campaign did an amazing job considering the fact that Hillary thought she would have this election wrapped up on Feb. 5th.

delegate count Mr Obama 1573 Mr Clinton 1464…… ain't no stopping us now … someone que the fat lady

Closing a twenty point gap in Texas and winning the majority of the state's delegates is not losing — that is what those donations paid for. Obama won by stopping Clinton's landslide. She should've gone into Texas and had a clean sweep.

Ohio was the deciding factor on the last president. They got it wrong once again.. not sure they should even have a say in the election process.

Why doesnt obama use that money for MI/FL to have another primary? .. Oh wait.. He is afraid she will kick his butt again.

GO HILLARY!!!

Wondering how come did Mr.obama still lose OH and TX even he spent 3 times money than Hillary on it!

Such a loser! ' I think Obama need to get the soul to fix, not as his wife says" obama can fix your soul!"

Hillary, rock it

2008 Hillary

to bad he could not turn that into a better win last Tuesday!!

I am really surprised by the number of people who seem to think that "Hillary won Texas."

After the Texas caucus vote delegates have been awarded, it is quite likely that Obama will actually get more delegates from Texas than Hillary.

In your Face Hillary!
And you dopes supporting Hillary, he didn't spend all 55 mil. on those primary's. It would take far more than 55 million to pay off all of the folks that the Clinton machine has corrupted.
Gosh, I hope Hillary doesn't start crying about how the American people are donating more to Barrack than her.
And yes his middle name is Hussien, you racist Clinton supportors.
Hussien, Hussien Hussien and proud of it. Definition:, good, small, royal and handsome.

To Channell…I just tried posting a summary of the story but apparently CNN doesn't want to go there. Three times, ZZZZZIIIIP…no moderation, no nothing just GONE!

Hillary should use some of that money to give her voters math scholarships. Apparently they can't seem to figure out that Barack has the MOST
numbers.

Obama/Kennedy 08.

Return my money, you had wasted my hard earn money.
What a liar he is? He was shaking hands with Canada.
I should have known his Rezko affair, I would hvae never given him single penny.

Return my money.

People brag he has won doubled the states than Hillary. TRUE, but do you not ask yourself the question of why since he has won double the states she is only like 90 points behind him and that the number of popular vote is not much different for as many people thats voted.

Just stop and think if you were running for a top office would you give up if you were very close and still in the game. NO YOU WOULD NOT. If you did then you never really wanted it.

To all of you Obama HATERS..Hillary won 3 states out of 15 and she is still behind in delegates and you all act like she just won the election..Gimme me a break!!!!!!!!!

Hillary is not going to be the nomine and I have never donated to any election but I will be donating monies to OBAMA every month until he becomes the Demoncratic nominee and I will then go on to vote for him…recruit my friends to vote for him.

Hillary has the never to bring up Ken Starr..she just opened up a can of worms. Now OBAMA should immediately go there since she brought it up…

How come after every election Bill is never with her no matter if she is winning or not?

The republicans came out and voted for Hillary in Ohio and Texas because they no they can beat her at any cost…

You GO OBAMA! That means we have PLENTY left to fight her back! Obama, honey, don't be so nice!

Since she managed to play the "victim" oh so well one minute and a fighter the next, let's see what you've got.

And MEDIA — Since you fell right into her trap of let's fully "vet" Obama but don't want anything whatsoever questioned of her, how about let's be unbiased and get to the bottom of these questions…

Why don't YOU answer questions about the money donated to YOU and your husband by Rezko?

Oh and while your at it how about you answer questions regarding the corruption trial you and your husband will be caught up in right in the middle of a General Election.

And lets see, Small question dear CNN, why are you not reporting on the news from Canada where it became clear the the PM chief of Staff Ian Brodie stated that he was approached by Hillary Clinton staff about Nafta. Telling him to take it with a grain of salt whatever she would state. In the end it turn out that it was not Obama who contacted Canadian institutes but the CLinton Campaign !!!

WOW, take a step back people…get it right CNN and all the other MSM. Cover it ALLLLLL!

And he still lost. That says something doesn't it?

Obama is the new Mitt Romney!

I think this is a tremendous accomplishment. What I find interesting is how cut-throat Hillary is getting and how Barack is continuing to remain above it. Those of you calling Barack a liar and pointing at Rezko are in for treat when it comes time to start scouring through Hillary's land dealings, and how much of her $35M was bought and paid for by large "special interest" donors (and therefore not usable in the primary), and how her attack ads are actually going to start to turn off voters once they become immune to the shock value and start to realize that she wears the same cloak of animosity as the Republicans.

We recently went throught a bugdet crisis here in Michigan. Maybe we can avoid it the next time by raising it on the internet. 55 million sure would help paying some mortgage payments and putting food on some peoples tables. or paying for some prescription medicines for those that can't afford it.

That's a lot of money. Wonder where he gets it all from? More rich white people like Rezko?

To All of you who keep saying Clinton won Texas….

She did, BUT who picked up more delegates? Ok, so who won Texas?

OBAMA '08

How do the Hillary supporters know how much she spent when she won't even release her tax records? I guess it wouldn't make a difference, anyway, since most of them are illiterate.

Hillary will be our Nominee,

Obama should start investing an equal ammount of money on his campaign . It will show America that without double spending he cannot cause a significant impact in those people, including me who understand that he is simply not ready to lead our nation.
Hillary can make a great difference and Obama could be a potential good Vice President. Obama can learn as a VP and eventually become our President.

This election is not about race , gender or SES, it is about the future of our loved nation.

Live to America and

Hillary for President!!!

Hillary 08- President of the United States of America

Obama '08!

I hate to burst you Hillary supporters bubble but one BIG reason why Clinton got a lot of votes was because of the Republicans that crossed over to vote for her. They know that thier candidate John Mccain doest stand a chance up against Barack Obama in the general election. Get over it! Hillary didnt win because of her own campaign. Obama's campaign out does hers with thier hands tied behind thier backs. Hillary needs to bow out as soon as possible so that the party can unite around the true front-runner.

Obama 08!!!

BTW: Where are your tax records and why wont you produce them. Wouldnt be because you have something to hide….would it?!!

Go Barack Go….

Time for Billary to get out…and new brighter Sun will rise on Jan 20 2009 when John W Mccain will be hiding in Crawford Ranch

Hillary didn't need any money. She got free air time by whining and attacking Obama. Who needs to spend money when you can get the press to do it for you?

Hillary is good enough.

Obama is outstanding.

Obama 08!!

"Yes We Can"!!!!

You can't Stop a Movement!

Hillary 08

Sounds like Obama"s halo is going south…He has no backbone and needs training pants if he does get nomination. I don't want a President who dosen't know what his own staff is doing or can't speak without having praticed over and over his speech that he stoled in the first place.

Hillary is winning all the big states with the most delegates. I think they will let Florida and Michigan revote and guess what Florida has majority of seniors.

It is obvious that Obama is the favored candidate, as it evident by his consistent ability to raise more funds than Hillary, and by the poll numbers showing him beating Hillary and McCain in national polls. Ohio and Texas where abberations. Both states have high number of uneducated whites and latinos. Fortunately, these two groups, who don't contribute significantly to the well being of America, don't represent the majority of the American population. This is why Obama has won many more states than Clinton.

Obama is doin a great job campaigning and i hope he becaomes the next nominee, not just the nominee but the president of the united states of america. People try to look down on Obama cuz he black, just give him a break. Senator Hillary Clinton is just a lying, decieving, backbitting and a bitter old women who just want to be greedy.She have been wrong toward the candidate and also she have been wrong for the U>S Don't vote for senator, that will be the wrong choice, Vote for Obama and the united states will be a better place.

Hillary has tried all she can and will stoop to the lowest mud puddle to win this nomination. Obama has run on a clean campaign and i hope he does not buy into her negativity. She is the reason why Mc Cain might win easily- Hillary is no match for the Republican propaganda machinery and will most likely cry her way out of the race.

She won three states, but whats the difference in the delegate count? Hardly any. She is trying hard to psyche herself up but soon she will realize that she is living in a bubble. She should stop wasting campaign money and instead support Obama.

Hillary and Bill are frauds! Always have been and will never change.
As for two…lies ….lies…lies…
Wake up America…we truly do not have much to choose from….
but, certainly not this witch!

Demcrats listen to the message of this – it isn't so much about the amount of money raised but how it was raised! Obama did that without donations for PAC's, special interests, etc. – it was all donations from the people. And, Obama continued to run a clean campaign (unlike his opponent).

Obama is the Tiger Woods of candidates!!!

BE SMART!!! Solve the problem in Florida and Michigan WITHOUT cost to anyone. SIMPLY DIVIDE THE DELEGATES between your campain and Hillary. We knew all along that she would go after the delegates, if she needed to. This woman is so devious and crooked as well as obsessed with being the first woman President, she will do ANYTHING to reach her goal.

Look into her involvement with the S and L situation.
Check out the time she and Bill were in the white house and had that drug king staying in the Lincolin Room for a great deal of money for Bill's campaign. She also removed furniture from the White House in the dark of night. YOU MUST FIGHT HER AT HER OWN LEVEL. WE ARE WANTING TO SEE YOU WIN. PLEASE FIGHT HER, AND FIGHT HARD. DON'T PULL ANY PUNCHES, SHE WILL DO ANYTHING TO BEAT YOU.

why try to leave a comment? if a person says what they feel, it has to fit the profile of what you want them to be saying or you will not print it.

I will also vote McCain if Hillary wins nom. Don't you see this is why conservatives want Hillary to win. WAKE UP!

You said it Paul! $55 million will no strings attached!

For all the Obama-haters (a.k.a. mostly Hillary-supporters), to borrow a Bill Clinton's phrase, "depends on how you define what 'win' really means". Hillary netted more pledged delegates than Obama in Ohio, but Obama will net more pledged delegates out of Texas. With the access of Hillary to the Bill Clinton name, Bill Clinton political machine, and Bill Clinton fortune, she only nets 5 pledged delegates out of Junior Super Tuesday. Obama still picked up 1 more superdelegate today.

Alright fellow Hope-mongers, let's get back to work with fundraising and volunteering to push the Obama's campaign over the finish line!

Yes We Can! Obama in 08!

Well lets give credit where it belongs, Obama was a persona no grata merely a month ago and he has sweat Clinton, an American household name to the point that during the last debate, she was shameless to ask for people to donate at her website, even though it was a debate? I have never heard Obama ask people for money! and looking by the percentages of the amounts donated, there is Momentum on the Obama side.
What he needs to do is know how to steer through the "kitchen sink" politics, save the party but at the same time expose Clinton without creating FEAR with the people. I know WE can but she can't.
Ant the media?! I am now scared you are not as strong as you look….you're easly swayed.
Go Obama

BUT STILL LOST ON 4TH, RIGHT?

WITH 3:1 ADS, 3:2 OFFICES; 3:2 STAFF MEMEMBERS…., STILL LOST, WHAT THAT MEANS?

DO NOT BET AGAIN! MY FRIENDS.

Please!!!!!!!!!!And she still won the Mini Super Tuesday and is raising $3,000.000.00 PER DAY now!!!!!!!!!!
Hillary 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great for Obama, Hillary only won because of dirty politics, even clinton adviser told Canadian news media CBC that she won largely because of NAFTA. The Canadian Prime minister Steven Harper has apologized to Obama and they are investigating who leaked the memo with wrong information.

YES WE CAN 08.

this is what happens when the clinton is in denial–all of her supporters are in denial, too. obama was 20 points behind in ohio and texas and closed the gap. and in case you can't face reality in the same way bush is in denial, you must know it's a virtual impossibility for clinton to catch up in the race for delegates. so who is truly throwing their money away?

I have been an Obama supporter and voted for him in the Alabama primary. I honestly have to say that his fund raising efforts DO NOT impress me. To a certain extent, it actually angers me that he would waste this much money on a campaign. His and Clinton's stance on issues that matter to me aren't very differnt. This one issue has now caused me to swing over as a Hillary supporter.

Yeah….let's take this money and give Billary a taste of their own medicine…. Run ads that expose them for the frauds and self absorbed couple that they are….demand their tax returns….and remind everyone that the only real experience that Hillary had in the white house was picking out the Christmas tree….when she did dabble in anything serious, she FAILED….health care….NAFTA….etc…where's the record of experience

She won three states…Oh my God…Call out the National Guards…Yeah, but she lost 12 in a row…and is a 160.5 pledge delegates behind Obama. Isn't this where she is suppose to everyone in her camp to break out?

If this guy can't even convert all those millions to into wins in Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island, think about it folks. What's he going to do with our tax dollars if he (heaven forbid) becomes president?
I can see it now. He raises our taxes, then spends them stupidly. Maybe Resko can teach him a little about how to handle money.

Guess what? He spend 47 out of 55 million already, and lost big on tuesday. Go Hillary 08!

Go OBAMA!!!! or if Hillary wins….reluctantly…. go MCCAIN…

At least Barack does not have blood on his hand of ordinary people of Iraq compared to Hillary & McCain who voted for the IRAQ WAR, about 1 million civilians killed, 4000 US soldiers among more than 4300 coalition soldiers killed, thousands injured with permanent injuries, Millions Iraqis displaced from their home… this is the result of the commander in chief(BUSH, Hillary, McCain) who is ready to take the 3:00am call. Looks like our commander in chief(BUSH, Hillary, McCain) is only worried about the American life and, willing to kill any number of other human being around the world in the name of security. Shame on you Hillary, McCain & BUSH.

It's the DELEGATES, stupid!

OBAMA '08!

Cool, this is why Obama will be the nominee. Can't wait till November

$55 Million thanks to me and my empty bank account! lol

Obama '08!

…and Obama received another THREE superdelegates today…it would seem that it is not only much of the electorate is sickened by the Clinton tactics…

Sounds like someone has the judgment to manage a campaign better then someone who has experience managing a campaign. GO OBAMA!!!!

That was not all that was spent in Texas. Several large unions, such as the SEIU, ran TV adds and had hundreds of paid staff workers and others in the state. The millions spent by these union, in addition to Obama out spent Hillary by two to one. He still lost the state. The caucus process was totally corrupt and charges have been filed and are pending. It was organized chaos. I will never attend another caucus. Obama supporters, both local and out of state grabbed hold of the urban caususes , interpreted the rules to suit themselves, and most were a mob scene. At one site the Clinton official had to flee and was chased by a mob of Obama supporters, both local and out of state, she ran to the police station. At another site the Obama official had the Clinton sign in sheets (which would be used to determine the number of delegates for CLinton), disappeared. Clinton got no delegaes at this site. Google-Dallas Morning News-dated 3-5-08

It is well known that polotics has always been a "Blood Sport" and it seems this years election is no different . I applaud Barack Obama for his constant persistance in keeping himself out of the insult game. The man is the definition of American Citizen and not only deserves our respect but to be president as well. This is a man who truly believes that the way to get votes is to be himself. If he is not the candidate that America wants then that will be obvious soon and im sure he will handle any "Loss" with dignity and his head held high. But let us hope that the final outcome is truly what America wants. And i believe thats Barack Obama and i am after alll an average blue collar American My many spelling mistakes should be proof enough.

Obama 08!!!!!!

If middle America is broke and the poor don't have money, Where is the money coming from? Can anyone tell me where all this money is coming from? I smell overseas money which is not allowed for U.S. Elections. CNN needs to check this out. Inquiring minds need to know.

Congratulations to Senator Clinton on her three victories this past Tuesday.

However, I am more than happy to make sure Senator Obama has the resources to introduce himself to States that haven't heard his name for the past 20 years, especially when the name (Clinton) is connected to any number of scandals.

I believe the State count so far is 27 States for Obama and 14 States for Clinton.

I believe Senator Obama holds a 100+ pledged delegate lead and has cut Senator Clinton's Super Delegate lead from 100+ down to about 35 or 40.

I believe Senator Obama holds a lead in the popular vote.

I honestly hope Florida and Michigan get a "do-over." She's already been claiming them as victories anyway so even if she won both of them again, nothing will have changed in her eyes. But if Senator Obama were to win one or both of them, he's just that much closer to earning the nomination in an honest manner.

GObama…

Win all the states you want…. (even though we have more)

How does the delgate count look? I mean who has more delegates?

EXACTLY!

Way to go, Hillary! I contributed to the 3 million raised in 24 hours. I doubled my contribution to help Hillary raise 6 million in 48 hours. Yay!

I agree no strings ya right catch the part that most of it has to go to the general campaign because its people that have maxed their amount for the primary!!! THe rich dontate cause they know he can make the rich richer!!!! I dont believe no string!!!!!!! I am just going to donate more to Hillary!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!! WE NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder how many more favors obama has to sell to the Iraqi bilionaire Ad. Rauch, or Oprah to make his "supposed" record. America, wake up out of your stupor-obama has the shadiest friends, don't say you weren't warned. GO HILLARY!

He raised and spent a lot of money but still lost…too bad.

Hillary 08

I think clinton should thank the conservative canadian government for the well timed nafta memo. It took this man time to let people see that he stands for more than just a candidate and he has gained the trust of milions . it is just too bad that clinton wants to pick up that red phone in the white house when she picks up this unconfirmed info and run with it like the gospel, this is what obama has been taking about on the issue of judgement and shows exactly how she made her vote to support the iraq war.I hope obama continues to run with integrity and honor as he has done and not stoop ,but continue to rise up till he get to the oval office

new hampshire she CRIED.
ohio she went to the gutter and trash bags .
what's next?

Hillary did NOT "kick his butt" on Tuesday. While we are still waiting to hear the result of the Texas caucus, it is likely that Hillary only gained 4 (that's right folks, FOUR, Count 'em….1, 2, 3, 4) delegates on him that day. Sorry folks, but that's not NEARLY enough for her to catch up to him on the ELEVEN wins in a row he had before that day.

The only way for Hillary to catch up at this point is through means that most democrats agree will likely split the party:
1) Call in old favors and promise new ones to get the superdelegates to go against the will of the people.
2) Go back on her word to get the Florida and Michigan delegates seated without some sort of a re-vote.

Here we go again with some fuzzy math if more than 90% of the donation were under $100 with half of them to be $25 than he would have had to have over 800,000 people contribute just to make up the 90%. Unless I am reading it wrong the statement says that there were 727,927 donors. It seems fuzzy to me or maybe this is just playing the same old politics lets call Canada and find out.

Come on Obama there are people out there that are going to figure you out give us true numbers and true statments not just uplifting speeches, and no I am not a Hillary supporter I would rather have John Edwards or Al Gore in office then we would have real change and experience.

'08AMA!

I agree with Jorge. Obama would destroy McCain in most of the primary states that Clinton has won. Plus, unlike Hillary, Obama considers every state important and in play, and that's why he's attracting so much support in EVERY state, including those Hillary considers "unimportant". Obama can beat McCain in many so called "red" states because he doesn't see them as "red states", he sees them as part of the United States!

GO OBAMA 08!! YES WE CAN!! YES WE CAN!!

"Adam in Indy March 6th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Too bad he couldn't win with all that money!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Don't worry, he will unless your math skills fall in line with Clinton's spin doctors.

Obama '08.

I'm about to donate $25 again so that he raises another 50 next month.

Tsk, tsk…when our candidate loses, we do and say strange things! Like saying Obama gets his campaign funds from individuals, while Hillary's come from special interests and PACs.

Look up MoveOn.org, the largest political action committee in existence and see who they support. They did not endorse Hillary! She, on the other hand, has been endorsed by 30 military officers, including five-star generals, who cannot by law contribute to political races. Endorsements don't come any more special than these.

This is a reminder of once in a debate when Hillary expressed disappointment when a moderator asked why she was not as likeable as she could possibly be. Obama, turned toward her and mumbled condesendingly, "You're likeable enough, Hillary." The point here is whether she raises her 35M or his 55M, her recent win definitely shows that she's "likeable enough."

Ask the clintons how much money they took and KEPT from Rezko and Oprah gave 2300.00 and raised a TON more. TX was very close and team Obama knew Ohio was a long shot and he is still AHEAD in pledged delegates and the popular vote. Earlier you Hillary supporters were asking show me the money for Feb. now he has and it doesnt matter. Nothing ever matters to you people unless its Hillary. I will vote for Nadar if the nomination is stolen in Aug at the convention. This is the begining of the end for the DNC at this rate. Nobody ever cared about big states vs small states until NOW and that is because Hillary initally ran her campagin like she was entitiled to be President and never thought Barack was real competition boy was she ever wrong, yet again she had BAD JUDGEMENT!!!

Obama 08
YES WE CAN!!!!

Senator Obama WON all the BIG CITIES in Texas: Dallas, Ft.Worth, Austin, and Houston – when you add up the delegates from the primary and caucuses he WON MORE delegates – he WON TEXAS!

The people that say he lost are misinformed and have been listening to the Hillary spin and the pundits on tv — who ever wins the MOST delegates wins the state – Obama WON Texas!

This is a case of the turtle and the hare – Obama will win one state at a time and in the end be our next President of the United States of America and then all the Billary people will be in shock and say to themselves 'what the heck happened' because they can't see the truth even when it is right in front of their face.

Billary, don't hate. I am about to send him more right now. Now that we know how you want to play, we are about to let the dogs out. People get ready there's a train a comin. You betta get on board or get left behind with Billary.

TO OBAMA SUPPORTERS – NO YOU CAN'T

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys who think Obama got his butt kicked in Texas are idiots. Did you even look at the results? He lost 47-51 and will win most likely the caucus. Lets get real… Hillary is too far behind mathematically to win. If he keeps it close from here on out she'll be way short. Barring adding Florida to the mix or superdelegates changing who the people voted its Obama '08….Its just math….

Hillary spent $140 million to lose Iowa. And a mom and pop store had to take them to small claims court for $2,000! Some victory.

I wish people would donate like this for the victims of NewOrleans ,we'd all be better off ,and we'd have a great country !!!this is downright disgusting

Big deal that she won 3 out of 4 states – she certainly didn't gain many delegates – seems to me – she really didn't win anything!!

Go Obama Go!!!

I want to know why Michelle Obama's salary doubled after her husband was elected Senator. Her position and role did not change so why was her salary doubled?

Yes we can and yes we will!
Obama for President

Donate now!
I did and will again and again and again!

Money don't buy Votes!, people have their Winner…. HILLARY!!!!!

People are rejecting the Hillary slime machine. we realize she can't win in November and Barack can.

GOBAMA!!!

All I can say is Obama has a good organization.

Go Go President Obama… We are 200% behind you and we will continue to support you all the way.

. . . .Hillary lead by 4 pts. big deal. Barack won the caucases alone by
more pts than that.

EVEN THOUGH SHE ONE, IT WAS NOT BY MUCH…. OBAMA IS STILL AHEAD BY OVE 100! SHE'S A CRY BABY AND GOT HER WAY. WHATEVER!

GO BAMA!!!!! GO! WOOT!

Yall Hillary supporters are a trip and even a few Obama supporters. Do some of you think he COULDN'T RAISE THIS MUCH? Barack isn't funded by PAC's and outside money all comes FROM US!! WE THE PEOPLE AT TIMES SIT ON HIS PAGE AND JUST START GIVING!! It's nothing uncommon for US. HIS CAMPAIGN IS OUR CAMPAIGN!! We really need to think about moving forward and sad to say but the math isn't adding up for Hillary; us Obama supporters arent saying that its REALITY!! We've won more DELEGATES/STATES AND POPULAR VOTE!!

hey new flash…… Billary is still behind by 144 pledged dels….. she will never catch him congrats on taking the low road… with your big victory you netted an amazing 11 more dels then him… good job… but get ready for a few more loses WY and Mississippi

You guys are pathetic….. Obama lost Ohio for two reasons: #1, Ohio's large population of uneducated racists. I am not saying that all uneducated people are racist. I am saying that all racist are uneducated (Hint: If you are educated, you know the difference between the two). #2, The right wingers in the Canadian government who attempted to throw the election because they were afraid of what Obama would do with regards to NAFTA. Make no mistake, The Canadians are just as afraid of Obama as the GOP. That's why they leaked that FAKE story about Obama. WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Obama barely lost Texas, but is winning in the Caucuses. Considering that 2 weeks ago, Obama was down in the polls in Texas by double digits, I'd say that was money well spent. The Money he poured into Texas and Ohio was to keep him from losing as bad to Hillary and to stop her delegate gain. She only netted four delegates on Tuesday, so who is really the looser?? Obama will have more momentum after he wins Wyoming and Mississippi and the Canadian government is exposed for its corruptess.

TO PAUL: CHECK out Obama's web site! Tens of Thousands of Volunteers like me raise tons of money for Barack. A $100 here, $25 there . We work hard because WE CARE!! Will you donate…I'lll send you the link?

OBAMA08

OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT08 !!!

And yet he still sucks.

Money can't make you a decent candidate, Barack.

Stop wasting your money, Obamaheads.

Hillary wins 3 states after 12 knock outs by Obama and suddenly you wanna boast about how much less Hillary spent. Whatever!

Obama's spending did pay off because he was able to greatly close the 20 point gap in the polls for Ohio and TExas. Also he lost by only a small margin in Texas. His margin in Ohio was smaller compared to large margins that Hillary has lost to Obama in many other states.

Do the math!!!!

OBAMA '08!

I just donated some more to his March campaign. Go BaracK!

I wonder if Billary is going to try and get some more from Peter Paul, the convicted felon they got $1.6 million from for her Senatorial campaign.

This is a race for delegates not states. So actually when all is said and done Tuesday was a draw. Obama won the delegate race in Texas and Vermont, Hillary in Rhode Island and Ohio.

I think that the money was put to very good use in Texas considering the way Obama closed the gap on votes. The surge of negative press shortly before the primaries, however, proved difficult to overcome.

Oh well. More $$, more votes, and more delegates = more problems from Billary.

Funny thing, for all the Hillary backers. Uhhh, have you checked the deligate count lately? She's still behind. She made a slight gain on Barack, which will be negated once the caucus counts are in. On the ladder toward nomination, Hillary has climbed a rung, but is still below Barack. No matter what she says, no matter how she spins it, she cannot, in 4 states, negate the 12-state momentum of Barack.

Dream team? Bill and Hillary back in Arkansas. Anyone else for president. If Hillary wins the nomination, the centrist independents will swing to the Republicans. Hillary's "experience" means that she selected the menus at the Whitehouse, and tried to push through a badly engineered health plan. Those who are bright enough to read and think know Hillary for what she is, a duplicitous, back-stabbing, flip-flopping snake.

My brother donated to Obama and he runs a small business overseas.
Just because he sent a large donation, doesn't mean he expects any favors, nor does he need any help for his business.

Whereas Clinton to the contrary – is avoiding release of her tax returns until the very end of the primary, or maybe NEVER. She also is the opposite of Obama, in that she'll take every single nickel and dime she can get for the big $ lobbies.

I'm sure she is also getting a treasure chest from Exxon Mobil and the Bush constituents.

Obama claims that he doesn't take PAC money or lobbylist money. He has been doing that all along until he entered the presidential nomination. PLUS. He has lobbyists from drug companies and oil companies IN his own campaign so isn't that even worse?

At least Hillary doesn't deny that she gets some money from them but her majority is from internet. Of the 35 mil she raised, almost 30 was from the internet, half from fund raising in MA a week before the march 4th primaries and some from hher own loan.

Obama likes to hide the things that sting him, and deny things that hurt him even though they come out to be true. he's really smooth. He brushes things off and makes the public look like it's no big deal when it is a big deal when he tries to spin that onto Hillary.

Obama did really well on Tuesday, I closed the gap on the Clinton lead she had in those states.

The real big states like NY or California almost always break democrate over republican in the general anyway. Who cares which primary candidate wins those. For example, only once in my life has a Republican won NY and that was Regaen. Either Clinton or Obama will win that state in the general that is a given.

$5 of that was mine and I'm proud to have given it. I may even have to double it. I never thought I would contribute to a campaign, especially not a primary. Obama is accountable to the people!!! We'll have to wait for tax returns and look at Clinton's donor list to know all the people she is accountable to.

I just donated last night. More and more of my family, who are both Democrats and Republicans, are coming together to support Senator Obama. We are impressed with his positive outlook, his legislative record and his ability to unite the country.

Jack,

It's a bit of a catch-22 isn't it? He almost has to combat Hillary's negativity with some of his own, since negativity seems to work as we saw in Ohio and Texas. Problem is it goes his against his principals of change. Kinda like if he was on the same ticket as Hillary, that would basically be a denial of message of Change of the establishment, since well, Hillary is part of the establishment.

Danny Austin, TX

For those of you saying that Obama spent all that money in vain.. You need to wake up and see what happened.. this is hillarious.. Obama narrowed Hillary's 20 pt margin and YES HE DID win in Texas!! You guys must be from Mars!!

You people who's voting for HILLARY are crazy!!

Do you really think this woman would win????? Even if she won Texas, she still behind OBAMA so don't be too happy folks just bec she won in TEXAS.. remember anything can happen so relax and dont be to sure that HILLARY WILL WIN BECAUSED SHE'S NOT GOING TO WIN!!!!!!!

HILLARY SUCKS!

WHO CARES

Sorry folks!! I have voted democratic my whole life and would have in this election, except! I watched the commericals about who would I want answering the phone in the White House at 3 AM and considered all the options. What would Hillary and Obama do?I thought back to 9/11 and I suspect the only thing they could come up with between themselves on that day would have been to call 911. I have been to war and it's not nice. But if you have to go I had rather have some one who understands the military making decisions than some one knows nothing about the military or wars. I also have a question. Why do exmilitary and active duty military support McCain?

I made 6 donations to the Obama campaign in the last month. On March 4 I gave my last donation. On March 5 I gave my first donation to the McCain campaign. Obama lost. If he can not beat Clinton, he can not beat McCain. No matter who goes forward, Clinton or McCain, the wars will continue. If we are going to be in a war, I want McCain to stay the course.

Hillary is old politics. Look at how she acts when she cannot win on her merrits, she just tries to rip the other apart. She is like that nasty competative friend that is always making fun others to make herself feel better.

OBAMAA 08!!

Obama …People meet with the Canadian and promise them some type of shady arrangement (just like the rezko deal) but they never thought they will get CAUGHT!

This is worst type of politics and on top of that we have the Prime Minister Of Canada promising to do an investigation.

I think there is more under the table deals to this meeting than we all know so far.

it's funny people talked of Hillary winning TEXAS as if she did…. hello… the final result for texas is not out yet, and last time I checked, Obama is not winning the caucaus but he might acctually end up winning more delegate that Hillary (i bet you on that). so in the end, Hillary claimed win of Texas may be turned arround. And looking at Sartuday and next Tuesday election…
THE MOMENTUM STAYS WITH OBAMA!

Wonder how much of that was REPUBLICANS, when Rush and them were saying vote and contribute to Obama because McCain can beat him. Since the rest say ask whos got the most delegates and most states won, WHY DONT YOU ASK THE REAL QUESTION. Who has won the larger core Democrat states that will be Democrat in November ? Answer HILLARY CLINTON. Then ask who has won the states that will always be Republican (Because they are more republicans in the states) in the Novembr election. Answer Obama
Who has already had their closets with all their skeletons out for more than 20 years? Answer HILLARY CLINTON. Who has just had their skeleton closest peeked in. Answer Obama

to those of you who think obama got his butt kicked on tuesday, i'm not quite sure what numbers you are looking at- since the overall gain of delegates was negligible at best. again, while not a huge obama fan, i have to say something for a person who is able to both gain and sustain momentum in the midst of a storm of unfair and unwarranted attacks from his opponent who had to resort to kitchen sink tactics in order to win- again by just a bit- not a lot.
enough hillary trickary!
neverhill(liar)y! unless of course she wins the nomination and then it's back to the same old "lesser of two evils" voting game and mccain is worse by far.

Obama is so incredible.

He can motivate over 1 million people to contribute to his campaign. Hillary was forced to use her own money. Which one is the people's choice?

Also, first posters: didn't Obama win more delegates yesterday? Why are you talking about how he lost?

XOxo

Listen up Hillary supporters….Your focus is in the wrong place. You have to win delegates in order to win the nomination, not states. You all might have won Ohio and Texas (by a very small margin) but you didn't even gain enough delegates to decrease the lead? So I wouldn't be excited if I were you… I'd be quite worried. You're not going to be able to catch up to Obama.

Hilary used the old fear mongering ad to scare the people of Texas, Ohio and Rhodes Island. What a bunch of wimps! Do you honestly believe that Hilary's going to get up at three in the morning to answer a stupid telephone? Yeah, right!!!!

It's funny how all of the Hillary's supporters tout her "wins". She still is 100+ delegates behind…exactly where she was on Monday. How did she "win" again? HRC hasn't had the lead in this contest, ever…let's not get hasty folks.

Oh Yeah! Its all about the people! Stick with the people and our new coalition Barack and we'll win!

55 million! and if he is so worried about the poor……how does he feel about wasting these windfalls on the rich?? I would feel like a creep accepting a $10.00 check with a note that reads ….it's all I have ….rather than using that in his speeches!

where's the tax returns??????

Hillary wants the superdelegates to vote their choice. Well, since most are politicians, they will vote for who has the lead in delegates. It's mathematically impossible for Hillary to win in that area. While I do think it's very commendable that Hillary raised $35million but I am supporting Obama so I'm more ecstatic about his fundraising. However, if she is on the ticket, I will vote for McCain.

hmm… I wonder where this money is really comming from?

CNN, when r u gonna do a report on the breaking news in Canada, that confirms Obama was innocent in the so called "NAFTAgate" and that Clinton's people met with Canadian government as well?????? I saw the report this morning but have yet to hear it on US news. Whats that all about?

Hillary is just wasting the poor people's money, she knows that she is far behind and it's almost impossible to catch up

Clintonions are all butt sore because she barely scraped delegates from Oh. and TX. and now they cry foul when asked to disclose their shady tax records. Transparent does not mean behind closed doors! Let us see who and what we already know you are Hill. A farce…with an annoying voice!

GOBAMA 08

Hillary pretty much lost ohio and texas. Winning nearly even is not a win. Texas is not won in my mind until the caucus results are also tallied and the math does matter.
Thats 20 million more he can spend and kick her butt going to the next one.

+100.00$ for Obama right now. who will match me?
Obama 08!

Go Obama! What some of the people commenting are failing to understand is that Obama was not projected to win Texas or Ohio. What did his campaigning and money do for him in Texas and Ohio? He was able to cut a 20 point lead by Clinton in half in Ohio and down to 4 points in Texas. Winning isn't the only way to get delegates. Obama netted more delegates in Texas. So basically all his money was able to split the delegate count. People just starting to follow this campaign need to educate themselves on the polls two months ago and the polls now in certain states. Take a look at Pennsylvania. He is not projected to win there but his goal is to cut into her lead. He already has without really campaigning there. He will never win Pennsylvania or should he. I would bet 55 million though that Clinton won't net that many delegates. That is the victory for Obama.

Hillary needed to win by much larger margins than she did in Ohio and Texas to really have a shot at this. She won by 10 in Ohio and 3 in Texas and is losing by 12 in the Texas Caucas.

She is basically done but her stubberness is going to hurt the Democratic Party, especially if those Superdelegates go against the will of the people.

If the Democrats truly want the White House then Obama is the way to go. Hillary is to devisive to pull the party together to defeat McCain.

Good for him!!! He did it not by lying, sniveling or whining. Has anyone noticed that Obama has whipped Hillary in the Texas caucus? Her BIG win still puts her down by over 100 delegates, a number she cannot win with. She is a caustic, polarizing, negative and bitter person – who will say and so anything to win. We will not be winners if she gets the office.

Yes We Can! Obama, 08!

Laura, San Diego, CA

So lets say your company is hiring a new CEO. There's this guy who comes in and has a very short resume. He's done some low level management of a small company but recently become a mid-level manager. Instead of learning to be a mid-level manager, he spent that time, reading up on how to be a CEO. He comes ot the interview and hands you a short resume and says, but I have hope change this company around and I have hope that I can bring all the employees together to make that change.

Think of it that way. Forget the past of both candidates. Lets not think about that right now and just look.

What are their plans for the future? The economy? How will they fix NAFTA? How will the deal with health care? How will they deal with foreign policy? Iraq? Pakistan? North Korea? Isn't that what this presidental nomination should be about? Shouldn't it be more about what you're going to do? What you've done in the past is important too. It shows what you'll do in the future or at least have an idea of what you'll do but you should really have a realistic plan.

I like both Hillary and Obama but I think the president should be the one who knows what they're doing and the VP should be the one who's getting ready to be the president have some more experience learning from the President. Wouldn't it make sense that Hillary and Obama be the Pres and VP? Doesn't that make sense? With that, we'll have 16 years of democrats in the White House. If Obama is nominated and wins the presidency and he falters and doens't deliver on his promises because he just wasn't able to, wouldn't that just disappoint a lot of people, allowing republicans to come back in?

Y E S W E C A N!!

Keep on stepping senator.

Hillary was way up, Obama closed the gap. AND HE MAY WIN THE DELEGATE COUNT IN TEXAS!!!

Her grand victories are too little too late. She'l probably net a whooping 8 delegates from last Tues.

Keep cheating HRC…your almost there.

LOOK OUT MARCH MADNESS……………WE CAN EVEN TOP THAT.

I CHALLENGE ALL HBCU GRAD TO DIG DEEPER.

HELEN

I received four different flyers in my mail from Obama in Texas and I voted for Hillary. What a waste of your money!!!

Obama will continue to do very well becasue he is a people's person. His message of hope and aspiration talkes to people's hearts and minds. Hillary's true colors appeared during this past week and they are UGLY. I used to like her but after I saw how desparate she was, I will never vote for her. Obama had earned my respect Hillary had earned my disappointment

AND even with all that extra money
Obviously "NO WE CAN"T"!

HILLARY 20O8

Too bad Hill had to use her funds to purchase her endorsers.

Those who keep claiming that Hillary won these states, are you guys just ignorant or in denial that it did not make a difference? She only gained 4 delegates. Hillary 187 AND OBAMA 184, He is still ahead of her in delegates count. She will never catch up with him. He won more STATES, POPULAR VOTES AND MORE DELEGATES. She continued with this Rezko story, all her fundraisers who have been indicted will start to come out in public to give their stories and they are so many, though some have fled the country. Just last year, one of Hillary's fundraiser was indicted, and he fled the country.

Release your tax papers from all the years back. In addition, let see how you got the $5 MILLION DOLLARS you loaned your campaign.
Howard Wolfson, Clinton communication chief, you keep talking about Rezko, let me refresh your memory, Hillary many fundraisers ahve also been indicted.

I notice the Obama supporters really insult anyone with a different opinion. They call Clinton Supporters stupid and ignorant and uneducated.

Funny, but most of the Clinton supporters are the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings of the Obama supporters.

So you insult the very people who loved you and nurtured you and educated you. Obviously education is no substitute for intelligence and common sense.

Obama supporters epitomize and illustrate the saying: THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA.

Actually Adam, Theresa, Aisha:

Hillary won in rural areas while Obama won the more populated urban areas. And don't forget that Clinton focused her entire attention on Texas and Ohio while Obama was pounding the pavement to sweep primaries in 11 states by considerable margins. So, while you may be entrenched in your candidate, don't make the mistake of selling an achievement short just because you don't like it. Clinton's firewall only stays up if she had won with a greater margin. She simply did not accomplish that and once again, Obama won the urban vote and garnered more of the delegates. And Clinton can't play the "Obama only wins red states and they don't matter" card because she just won Texas… and the rural parts at that (which represent the redest areas of the redest states). And no, Texas will not be voting Democratic in November. So if she's predominantly winning in the conservative parts of states, then her argument of "I win big states" starts to founder even more when she will make it at the convention. So, 55 million is an incredible amount of money in one month – and a short one at that! You don't have to like the candidate or his supporters, but you do have to respect the accomplishment. It's undeniable that something profound is happening this year and you may try to pin that badge on Clinton or anti-Bushing, but in actuality, the person who deserves it is Obama.

one of those proud contributors…

and our money was put to good use– hillary netted less than 10 delegates on Tuesday!

I find extremely amusing that all the Clinton supporters come on here an mock Obama by saying that even though he raised and spent all this money, he still couldn't win. The reason it's funny is that he IS WINNING. Hillary gained 8 delegates! As a result, Obama is still considerably ahead or Senator Clinton. The fact that many of her supporters are hung up on the results of this past Tuesday speaks to their nearsightedness. Please continue to tell the man in the lead and who has won the most states, as well as the popular vote, that the money did not help him win.

For those people who post such insulting and shamefully disrespectful messages bashing Obama and even Clinton…GROW UP please. I have children under 5 years old who know more about expressing themselves without disrespecting another than some of you.

I am also a loyal Barack Obama supporter and I see no need to say anything rude about Hillary Clinton or her supporters. I know who I want in the White House and my focus is on making that happen.

Let's keep things civil.

Hillary><Mcain = Nobama

IT did not help him on Tuesday in March…Hillary spent less, raised less and got the job done…sounds like she could help our economy and get the job done for less money..M.A .Hillary 08

So? I think all of this campaign contributions is crazy….can't folks give their money to a charity or purchase food and donate to a food bank. If you do the math on how much $ has been wasted on all of these campaigns, it is really sad. Didn't Obama spend twice as much as Hillary in Ohio? I think he lost that one.

Hilllary just raised more than 3.6 million in 24 hours.
The tide has turned.

Go Hillary!

What's going on with "NAFTAgate-gate"? Word on the street is that the Clinton campaign has some explaining to do according to reports out of Canada.

Way ta go, Obama supporters! Don't stop believing!!

i will vote for mccain if hillary manages to steal this election from the voters. i would rather have four years with someone of integrity and honor in the White House; we don't need a victim for the next four years crying and throwing a tantrum anytime she doesn't get what she wants. She can't build a Democratic coalition; indeed, she is intent on driving the party into the ground. Her personal ambition drives her; we, the democratic voters, will be sold out as soon as she deems it necessary.

WE WANT CHANGE!!!!!!! OBAMA '08!!!!!!!!

What a worthless headline. So how much did Oprah contribute to that?

If Obama gets the nomination, I will not vote for him. He's a con. I have a hard time seeing how he can win if he can't pull down the big states that matter.

This is an amazing number. It goes great with all the Superdelegates committing to Obama today and all the great articles about how Mrs. Clinton can never catch up in the pledged delegates count.

Yes. We. Can.

Obama 08

I think that's amazing that so many people are behind him. I'm going to go donate now…YES WE CAN! Barack Obama 2008…

All those Clinton fans gloating about a Texas win need to wait until the caucuses are counted. Our Obama could easily come out with more total delegates. Hooray! I'd call that a win.

Check the results again. Your results are from primary only, which only includes 2/3 of the delegates.

Obama was won Texas. He is sweeping the caucus results.

Should I say that again?

Obama won Texas.

I love how hillary denied to matt lauer knowing rezko, and then he produced several pictures of her and bill posing with him when he donated to the clintons…he is a political fixer….

I wonder how hill wil fix nafta since bill and apparently her since she claims credit, enacted it in 1992……

If I went to mechanic and my car tires all fell off, I wouldn't walk back there…I would want my money back….hillary supporters are morons…

I will vote for mccain….

GO OBAMA!!!

Don't you Billary supporters get it????
BILLARY CAN"T WIN!!!

Wonder how much Kool-Aid $55 million buys…

Guess not nearly enough to win Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island.

That's impressive! This campaign is own by the people for the people. Hillary is the same old and she can't even make her financials public!

I can't wait to see the final outcome of the caucus in Texas and at the end of the day who will win the state? well, the candidate with the most pledged delegates, and who will that be? well you guessed it… BARACK OBAMA!

She (hillary) continues to hurt her party and the Country as she tries to win with her old negative style! and as unfortunate as it is, sometimes that works! but ALWAYS, the sincere, honest and truthful candidate will win.

Enjoy the ride while you can Hillary….. from now on you are going downhill.

Funny, Clinton supporters are ignoring Hillary's 11 straight losses in February while Obama raised that $55 million.

On another note: I too contribute to Obama's campaign. However, if you contribute to Clinton's campaign (more power to you) or Obama's don't lose sight of the fact that all this money could be put to better use. To that end, I've matched all my political contributions with donations to charity. I'm donating currently to the local food bank. I encourage all Democrats that support one of these candidates to do the same thing. Pick any charity. It'll make a difference.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm happy I was part of that

LET'S DOUBLE THAT FOR MARCH/APRIL

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA

I LIKE OBAMA BUT WITH BUSH SUPPORTING MCCAIN ALL OF THE OLD WHITE PEOPLE WITH WILL FOLLOW AND HILLARY IS NOT GOING TO BE NEXT PRESIDENT BECAUSE IN THE BIBLE THE WOMAN IS THE WEAKER VESSEL. AND FOR OBAMA HE IS BLACK SO MANY CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA.

AGAIN I hope for change and change means OBAMA.

Woo Hoo!

How in the heck did the "inevitable democratic candidate" (in her own words) become the underdog?Correct me if I'm wrong..but I thought Obama was easily 20-30 points behind Clinton in the Ohio and Texas polls just a couple weeks before the primary. The fact that he significantly closed the gap and still has the delegate lead oughta be the news of the day. The fact that she uses her gender, race, lies, half-truths and negative trickery on the stump and in ads…is insulting to me as an American, a woman, and a democrat. I for one, will stay home if she ends up being the "presumptive" nominee. And, hate to say it Hillary girl…but I'm not alone. And, honestly folks, do you really think that Bill's record (the negative part) won't resurface in a general campaign. The republicans are just sitting back licking their chops..and who knows what all our Bill has been up to lately…We like Bill, but honestly..he had his day. And,can you imagine…it's all about her now. She's not fighting for "us"…she's fighting to become the first woman President. There's a big difference. When she says "it's personal" believe her. She is more interested in pushing her own personal agenda than making America safe and prosperous.

I'm for Obama..NOW!!

Is anyone going to comment on how insane this is? That a candidate who doesn't even have the nomination raised $55 million in a month?

Note. I gave money to the campaign, but I still think it's insane.

Seems to me, if running a presidential campaign is the largest leadership role either one of these two candidates have attempted, Obama is by far exceeding Hillary in both results and honor.

Obama '08

Actually, Hills only won the primary in TX, not the whole state. Please remember, the caucus votes are still on their way in and 1/3 of the delegate vote in TX. As of right now, Obama is leading in the caucus.

Barack the Vote!
Obama 08!

There nothing in the article that he spent all that money, only that he raised $55 million.

uhh, neverbama…think you got your facts wrong. Ms. Clinton is the one telling the lies!

Absolutely obscene!!! Obama supporters must be very naive if they think that their candidate won't pander for money, as other politicians do. How do they think he was elected in the first place? I guess Obama is not so selflessly devoted to those citizens in need as he claims to be. Imagine the good work that the $55 million could do.

To all the Obama doubters…You are in for the surprise of your life come November 5, 2008.

To all of you Hillary people who are horrible at math :

$55 million is more than $35 million

1366 total delegates is more than 1222 total delagates (courtesy of RealClearPolitics.com)

28 states won is more than 14 states won (and by the way, you claim Victory in New Hampshire but split the delegates evenly, and you claim victory in Nevada although you won LESS DELEGATES, let's not even talk about your claimed victories in MI and FL)

And after WY and MS, you'll be even further behind….let me ask you a question Hillary people….If your favorite sports team went 3-12 in their last 15 contests, would you say they have more momentum than the other team in their division that has gone 12-3?

WAKE UP AND STEP INTO REALITY!!!!

The longer you drag this out, the more pathetic you look….

OBAMA '08!

No-Bamas

go away big eared monster
liar, liar pants on fire
not one idea is your own
will choose mccain before voting for a neophyte like you

STEP DOWN you incompetent fool!!!!

These two candidates are both good. It's silly to tear either of them down as I see in some of these postings.
Be FOR a candidate, not AGAINST another candidate as your rationale for casting a vote. Otherwise we all look like babies.

NEVEROBAMA March 6th, 2008 2:46 pm ET

SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT DIDN'T STOP HILLARY FROM KICKING HIS BUTT ON TUESDAY!
——————————————————————————————-

You call peeling off 5 delegates of a 155 delegate lead "kicking butt" ?

OBAMA'08

All that money raised from small donors-NOT PACS and lobbysists Amazing. 90% of our donors are small contributers. The average donation is 109 bucks. I am off to donate $25 more. We are neither down nor out. Check out the Texas caucus delegates! Keep positive and keep working. Change comes from the bottom up- never the other way around.
Obama 08

all those hillary supporters claiming CNN is only reporting it because they support Obama—-> they have reported how much hillary raised as well, and reported that she has raised 3 million since her win on tuesday

So can we all just take a deep breath, say congratualtions to eachother as democrats for OUTRAISING the sad sad republicans!!!

I am a proud Obama donator, and will keep donating a portion of my paycheck to him until he wins (and if not, I will support HIllary as much as I can)!!!

people in general need to stop whining and get back to this race!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!

Why are all the Hillary supporters claiming huge wins? She did not "kick his butt."

She was up 20 points just a few weeks ago and then won Texas by 3. She was up 20 points in Ohio and won by 10. She didn't cut into Obama's delegate lead and he will actually end up winning more delegates in Texas than her with the caucus added to it.

Only with Obama the Democrats can retake the White House!!!
Go Barack go!!!

That's a lot of money, but we already knew the amount.

And even with all that money…BO went 1 for 4.

Too funny.

One nice outcome of all this is that the economy is getting a nice boost.

Expect Hillary to announce 6+ million raised in 2 days tomorrow.

I find it funny that all the Hillarites are claiming they won Texas…by the way….which candidate got more delegates out of TX?

Oh, thats right….Obama did….

Claiming victory when only counting 2/3 of delegates is like trying to say you should be President because Ohio said so….not the 27 other states that said you shouldn't.

It's so funny to me when people say "He shoulda been able to win more than 1 out of 4 states then!"

Weird really, because he won 12 in a row, and has won more than 2/3 of EVERY state that has voted thus far. (Thats more than half, A LOT more, btw…for you idiots).

Anyway. Obama '08. I have given and will continue to give every time I can. He is amazing and it saddens me how sick Hillary supporters are and how they speak…just like her. Its disgusting.

Obama rules. Even if he doesn't win, the polls have shown that America prefers him. Who cares what his detractors say. The polls show it.

As for Clinton; although I'm a registered democrat, no way I'm voting for her. Is it any wonder why the only people who consistently favor her are the uneducated and the latinos? I'm a high school teacher and it's shamefull how the latinos in our school prefer gangs to books. If Clinton wants those type of people representing her, she can have them. However, I want forward thinking, educated AMERICANS representing this fine country.

If Hillary steals the nomination, I, as will many other professional African Americans, will be voting McCain this November.

OBAMA ALL THE WAY

Yay! We still got the momentum and I believe we broke the record for a presidential campaign's fundraising month!!! I'm so excited! YES WE CAN!!! No matter how much the establishment tries to smear our campaign, our voice, our future…YES WE CAN!!!

I am a Hillary supporter, but I applaud Obama for being able to raise that much money. The Democrats are very strong in fundraising this cycle.

Now, we are in a new month and Hillary raised 3 million in 24 hours and is going for 6 million in 48. She has the momentum after the 4th, and is now ahead in both of the two main tracking polls (Gallup and Rasmussen).

Hillary08

I hope supporters of Obama's opponent stop and think about where that money is coming from – and then they should really worry and understand that Obama is organized and smart. Much of Obama's money has come from small donations from regular people.

Who knows where Hillary's money has come from – where's the tax return. All we know is that Bill has been paid millions to just speak and he shares his money with his wife. The amount of money Bill receives should be seen (by any thinking person) as "influence" not just simply payment for speaking. Now just look at who pays him to speak. And yes he is choosing who "supports" him (and her). Bill is not rejecting or denouncing the support of foreign nations or big business.

I contributed less than $100 myself to Obama and I consider it a "vote" of confidence in his campaign for change in government and for a person who can work well with others.

Hahaha, Cnn blog is full of Obama haters.
Lame

To all of you Hillary supporters who keep ragging on Obama for losing Ohio and Texas. News Flash "HE'S STILL AHEAD". In addition, if you are capable of 4th grade arithmetic you would know that mathematically Hillary CAN'T win. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.. :0(

Go OBAMA !!!

And just to clarify, Obama may have "lost" the primary in the general sense. However, he'll get the most delegates…go figure! lol…

I am very proud that 3 of my donations went into February. I don't care that we didn't win Ohio and Texas, it was still a worthwhile investment in a candidate that I trust and believe.

With that being said, we owned you in both January and February Miss Hillary Clinton!

Try to keep up Hillary !

OBAMA 08

wow that is an amazing amount, it really shows what the people want and that is change! no more CEO POLITICS!
Obama 08

Hey, Obama fans – so according to you all money = winner. Wow, now we're really talking issues. I guess I'm just one of those young, well-educated doctorate types … I mean I'm from the "lunchbucket" crowd who voted for Hillary who also happens to be a young, well-educated white attorney from Austin, TX.

yes we can! by god, yes we can!

Change from the top down depends on fear.
Change from the bottom up depends on hope.
It is time to turn the page from fear based domination to community building participation.
Go Obama.

while impressive we still need to understand money doesn't mean you win.

Why this is only as a latest news. It should be a "BREAKING NEWS" at the top. How much OBAMA raised is more important for CNN than the stocks which is loosing by 100 points every day..

Maybe CNN is looking for OBAMA to chip in for the market ????

THIS MESSAGE GOES TO DAVE FROM NEW JERSEY – OBAMA IS GREAT FOR THE COUNTRY AND WILL PROTECT YOUR JOB (WINK, WINK)

WAKE UP OBAMA IS A LIAR

GO HILLARY!!!!
GO HILLARY!!!
GO HILLARY!!

Adam in Indy March 6th, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Too bad he couldn't win with all that money!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
———————————————————————————————

Adam, your candidate lost more superDs since 02-05 than she gained in her ONLY THREE victories since then ( and in TX she is even likely to lose by delegate count !! That would reduce it to a tie for 03-04 ).

Why do you think she floating this idea of a joined ticket, huh ? Because she is losing the nomination. And even if she would steal the nomination, when the Obama movement turns against her she is done for. And there is no second run once you lose the general election

Sarah,

Even if Barack loses, which I know he won't, I will never think I have wasted my money. I am donating to something and someone of substance that I believe in.

Now if you are a Hillary supporter, I understand how you might think you wasted your money….

By the way, delegate-wise, Obama WON Texas! Go Barack!

HIllary Clinton won't release her tax returns from 2000-2006, but she says she will "on or about April 15″. Now, what does April 15 have to do with old returns from 2000-2006? Nothing. She could release the 2000-2006 returns now. If she thinks general election voters should see them, why not Democratic primary voters?

Yes we can. Yes he can. Go Obama!

Thats great. Need more Obama?, I got your back.

All the Obama Bashers consider this.

With all that money he raised he was able to pull within 10 of the Clinton Machine in Ohio and barely lost the Texas Primary (by the way the caucuses, which are a 1/3 of the vote, are still coming in…and he's winning!). Which begs the question: Considering they were neck and neck in the primary How is there a winner of Texas when a 1/3 of the vote is still up for grabs???

Clinton is a formidable opponent with name recognition (thanks to Bill) and has already had the organization in places like Texas and Ohio.

What Obama has done and is doing is amazing.

$55 Million! March will be a great month too. I'm going to donate right now.

Obama 08!

All of the money in the world from "Rezko and Friends" will not help you win BUT thanks for reminding me to go to HillaryClinton.com to make Another contributuion. HILL YEAH!

Obama Believers raise the flag for Hope and that is what other candidates don't have. They can't bring hope because they're the ones that have left America hopeless…
To let pithy issues detract form Obama's message and candidacy is only indicative of the old Washington cynicism.
Obama is hope for America.
Thanks for your blog. Check out my featured video for more on this.

White middle aged guy giving Obama $50 per month.

don't forget obama almost wiped out a hillary 20 point lead in texas and ohio over the last month! those hillary supporters that say she won should be thankfull oboma didn't have another month or she would have lost both!! think about it before you simply state the results! besides the deligate count didn't show much change at all! the clear front runner is barack! billary should throw in the hat!!

Hillary has disgusted me so much that if Obama doesn't win, I will vote for McCain…

she will accomplished the same as hubby bill when he destroyed the party leading to gore's loss in 2000…and look what happened….

I will just help hillary's goals along and just vote for mccain….

she is an extremely evil, shallow, bitter, scorched earth socialist…..

she is (or should be) irrelevant in 2008 if we are turning over a new leaf in this country……

Do not underestimate how her blaming "activists", racial groups, pandering to others, telling bald-faced lies, distortions, exaggerations threaten to turn off the dem voters and independents energized and motivated by Obama….

I am one of thos Obamacans registered as republican until bush II, now maybe going back……at least mccain is conservative in policy….doesn't promote socialism…..isn't win at all costs, even tearing apart washington and our country, like hillary promises to do….

By the way, I dont see texas and ohio really won by clinton. I would have given her those states if she had won them by large percentage. I consider this a tie in those two states, infact obama can get more delegates than clinton in texas if he wins caucus as he will. Inb texas Obama got 61 delegates and clinton got 65, so what?. in ohio clinton got 71 delegates and obama got 59. I see obama presidential candidate for democrats. I wish if he chooses clinton as his VP. That will be the best combo.

There is nothing Hillary can say about this!!! THIS IS THE REASON OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT!!! He can bring together a larger coalition in order to change this country, whether they believe in his ideologies or not! He will win the nomination, and then beat McCain!

Obama Richardson 08!!!!!

Hill you are a pauper.

Okay so what happened to we are teetering on a recession. So how much have our potential elected leaders spent in the past three months – over $100 million dollars, wouldn’t that money have been better spent elsewhere?

No suprise, considering he can get a house $300,000 below market value easily; wondering how much is from Ophra, and Rezeko's friend?

So the shrillaryites actually think that shrillary "won" TX and OH, stop it, people she needed to "win" by a margin of 60 to 40, guess what it didn't happen, she is still down and Obama is still in the lead! and have any of you ever heard of a caucus? guess not, 'cause those are the things that your bipolar candidate keeps losing!!!
Great job Obama! keep up the good work!

YES WE CAN! CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!! OBAMA 08′!

The beauty of it is, no federal lobbyist money, no special interest money. Check it, it's true. And, while you are at it, why don't you make public all the candidates donor lists? It would be helpful in showing the American people just who the candidates are cozying up to. Clinton, and McCain, would have egg on their face.

"THE MAN WITH THE MONEY IS THE BOSS."

How laughable that Clinton losing 15 points in two weeks in TX, and 10 points in OH, squeaking out wins in territory populated almost exclusively by her base voters is all the Clinonistas have left to label as a victory. One word for all you mouth-breatthing DLC Clintonbots: SCOREBOARD.

Wonderful, more money, more delegates. Hillary, go answer the phone. It is a call from one of the special interest groups offering to give you some money. Better hurry!

Kathy why do you care if a comic strip writer has donated to hillary? That is about the lamest thing I've ever heard.

How mucn money do you think Oprah forked over to Obama?

Gonzales LA

Obviously, three recent victories doesn't mean anything if you'll losing the war. HRC did win tuesday, but she's no closer to catching him than before this all began. He's beating her in delegates, primaries, and more money raised.

Obama raised $55 million in February and won 24 of 33 primaries… He also won 2 of 4 on March 5 (take a look at the final delegate returns from the Texas caucuses and primaries).

If you are simple enough to just address the March 5th primaries (and ignore the 11-event winning streak and the Texas Caucus) then you are supporting the candidate with the most appeal to simple people.

Hillary had that huge financial and establishment lead, and is still hopelessly trailing in the delegate race.

Even with all that money and spending 2 to 1 over Hillary, he still lost Texas, Ohio. Plus he is also already trying to get out of the deal he signed that if McCain takes the "public funding" that he would do the same. Changing the rules that he said he would do.

I cannot believe that there are so many blind people following the "Pied Piper"

WAKE UP AMERICA! Let us ALL get behind Hillary and get her elected into the white house as our NEXT President. I want someone that can make the changes verses someone that is ALL TALK.

Hillary Clinton our NEXT President!

You Hillary supporters are so naive. OBAMA IS STILL WINNING BY 140 PLEDGED DELEGATES! SHE ONLY HAS PENNSYLVANIA LEFT! you can follow her spin like the sheep that you are, but it doesn't matter! Every pundit said she needed HUGE wins in OH and TX, and she did NOT get HUGE wins. Yeah, of course she is going to act like she is now the frontrunner, but anybody with a BRAIN can see that she has a LONG way to come.

Dean said this morning that Florida and Michigan will NOT be seated, which was Clinton's only hope, and even if they were, it would still be a long shot. There is no way that she can come within even 100 delegates of Obama, and the superdelegates will NOT over turn the popular demand for Obama. Two states don't make a difference after Obama won 11 straight.

Go ahead, bask in your glory while it lasts, but the truth is, I will be basking in the glory of an Obama presidency for the next 8 years!

Obama 08 12!!!

Good job with the fundraising Obama. Problem is that if the kind of outlandish mudslinging we've seen continues, both Democratic candidates will be so tainted with sleaze (real and imagined) that even Nader could beat either of them by November. Obama I'm sorry you've decided to follow Clinton down the attack path – it's going to repel many of your supporters, myself included. Thanks Hillary for reminding me of the whole impeachment saga by comparing Obama to Kenn Starr. If you get the nomination, I'm voting for Nader (I could never bring myself to vote Republican but thank God there are other options this year). At least I can thank him for seatbelts, work safety standards and the minimum wage. What did your "35 years of experience" do for me? Ugh!

Hilliary comes from the same old people, saying the same old trash talk, on the same old negative campaign with the same old results. Trashing others to win is a reflection on who YOU are not who he is. GO OBAMA!! I definitely will be sending another contribution to his campaign..

One ignorant comment after another.

When has Barack lied? Whey wont Hillary release her tax returns?

Hillary = Politics of old, fear mongering ads, outrageous below the belt attacks, distortion of the truth, flip flopping on issues. Get real allready, we dont need one more second of this childish behavior.

The fact that Tuesday is considered a loss for Obama in any circle is nuts.
HE CLOSED A 20 POINT GAP IN 3 WEEKS!!

Spending that money was well worth it.

Why did you devote one sentence to this, when you gave HRC, with half as much $$, an ample amount of press time with a photo?

I flipping dare you to post this since you've censored all of my posts over the past three weeks.

WOW,,,,,,,,,,,55 MILLION AND STILL LOST ,LOOSER

BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA,,,,,,,,,,,,MONEY CAN,T BUY VOTES

GO HILLARY

Raise more money..Its o.k..You still couldn't win TEXAS, OHIO, RIsland, and not to mention FLORIDA…or California..Hahhah

That is your problems, Jack. You have been singing his praise so much forgotten that he has zero experience.

How ignorant it sounds from those Clinton supporters when they claim Obama did outspent them 2 to 1 or whatever. Is there even the slightest doubt that if Hillary had the money she would not use it???

I will continue to donate to his campaign until he becomes President.

These Hillary voters puzzle me with their spin on her winning 3 states. Yeah she won 3 and he won 13. Now if I do the math, Obama won more. Also, if these Hillary supporters can read they will also notice that their beloved Hillary is still behind in the overall popular vote and delegates, so chew on that apple.

By the way, Obama was a big enough person to congratulate Hillary. Why wasn't she a big enough person to do the same when he claimed 13 states???

OBAMA IN 08–all the way to the White House!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and, he still lost in ohio, texas, r.i. hmmmmmmmmmmm!! guess the voters weren't impressed with his earnings.

AND EVEN WITH ALL THAT MONEY…OBAMA STILL LOST!!!!

LESSON: MONEY CANNOT BUY VOTES….SUBSTANCE AND

EXPERIENCE DOES!!!!

OBAMA YOU SHOULD HAVE WAITED, LEARNED, HAD A RECORD

OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND THEN RAN FOR PRES…BUT

YOUR EGO TOOK OVER

HILLARY 08 HILLARY 08 HILLARY 08…….A PROVEN RECORD

55 Million from small donors. This has got to be a repudiation of the Clintons. People are tired of the Bush and Clinton years. Clearly Americans want a new direction. Obama won Texas. Primary 51-48 Clinton, Caucus 56-44 Obama..end result. Obama NETS 3 more delegates the Clinton. He will win the next two states and extend his delegate lead. Clinton's only hope is for party insiders to overturn the will of the people. That's been her strategy from the start. Dem establishment for Clinton, Majority of American people for Obama.

Ohio and Tx are rich in Hillary's base of poor, uneducated whites and non english speaking latinos. Obama 's base is everyone else.

Wow amazing how former Clinton Military Officers and ARM CHAIR Generals are rallying behind Hillary CLINTON. It wouldn't be for selfish self-centered reasons would it?

So what does that prove, he's still got people in dreamland.

Oh yeah! She has won three states against the 12 Obama won since super tuesday! Big deal! The next states he will too, and then what are you going to say ? CNN is supporting Obama again (that comment is becoming a bit old)…. We will not vote for him if he is the nominee, blah blah blah.
Let's be fair here. she did well in the last three wins but he's still ahead….

Why are all you Clinton supporters so angry at Obama? I think you are really just republicans in disguise.

Does anyone else wonder where this unheard of person comes up with all of this money??? Something to think about…

Hillary Clinton was leading in Both Texas and Ohio two weeks ago. Obama closed the gap significantly in a record amount of time. Remember Obama still have the lead in delegates regardless of Hillary's slight victorie in Texas.

Obama 08 Obama 08 women lie, men lie, numbers don't?
Barack has the advantage going into the rest of the primaries Barack will be the democratic nominee Please donate to the cause.

Hillary supporters are touting a loss by the Obama camp with the money raised…but they seem to forget one thing. HE HAS MORE DELEGATES…EVEN WITH HER "BIG" WINS.

Out with the old and in with the new!!!
BARACK OBAMA 2008!!!!!!!!

And he still lost…that makes Hillary's wins even more impressive!

jorge are you serious? OHIO REJECTED OBAMA. HE WOULD NEVER WIN OHIO IN A GENERAL, HAVE YOU NOT LOOKED AT THE EXIT POLL?

The argument that obama seems to want to make is that the states that Hillary won obama will win, uhm no, FL, NV, TN, AR, OK, OH, CA?, MI, will never go to obama in the General. FL and MI because he is helping in disenfranchising 2.5 million peoples votes, and all you need to look at the exit polling and you will see the dynamics in play. And there are many states obama won't win in the general that he won in the primary.

Hillary will win MO, WI, MN, MD, IL, and some others obama won in the General. Sorry obamabots you just don't get the big picture.

HILLARY 08!!!!

Breaking News: Clinton Behind NAFTA-Canada talk

who's leading in delegates!….enough said….

Is this real ? I really doubt OBAMA's personablity after a series questions that he can not directly answer "yes" or " no"

He even told media that he already won big states such as Michigan! God! MI has not be counted yet……how come did he win?

Pls, Obama, let us know the truth. and also it is March. 6th. why you just told us you got 55 million? Who can believe you?

2008 Hillary——-CNN please post my comments !

Obama lost the popular vote to Clinton in Texas. However, he actually received MORE delegates in Texas thanks to the caucuses. On March 4, Clinton picked up a mere 4 delagates more than Obama. Say 'hi' to President Obama next year.

When you factor in the Caucus results from Tuesday, the night was an even split, with Obama taking Texas and Vermont, and HRC taking Rhode Island and Ohio. Of course, HRC's supporters will claim that "caucuses don't count."

. . . .Texas by a huge 4 pts. Congratulations. Barack won the Texas caucases and has the most delegates. Translation: HE'S WINNING. Too bad
that Hillary did not educate her voters on that fact before she used you,
then dropped you.

OBAMA / Edwards 08.

To Hillary supporters, how many delegates did Hillary win on March 5. Do the math!!!

Hill-bots, all I got to say about Tues. is that u won 4 delegates. 4 delegates. Oh wait, we picked up another Superdelegate on weds. So now, Billary is only 3 delegates closer than she was BEFORE March 4. rofl!
Money well spent to the nomination I'd say.

Dont forget everyone; you can go online to the FEC website and see the donations and whom they are from.

Obama 08!

Well Ohio is a very RACIST state, they still have race riots, not even LA has that anymore. I bet a lot of people were afraid to vote for a black person.

Oh, also, if the election were held today, and it was just Hillary vs Obama, he would be up by over 70 votes in the electoral college. Or does that not matter either?

$55 M yet still he managed to lose in both Texas and Ohio.
It is true money isn't everything.
By the OBAMA need to show some respect for the former first lady.

Obama's WON 12 of 15 contests!

Change does not come easy.
After 20 years of a failed dynasty,
We will not stop until the status quo is done!
This is War!

Yes We Can.

Yes We Will.

Nope, I don't want my money back. I'm proud of the campaign that Senator Obama has run with the money that WE, ordinary people, raised. This campaign is based on real hope, real experience, real solutions, and the ability to build a real future for all of us. Watch out! More will be raised. Since Senator Obama has the delegate lead, it was money well spent.

And none of it from lobbyist or PACs! Why is Hillary hiding who donates to her campaign?

Way to go Obama! 90% from $100 or less donations. And you used that money to cut Clinton's 20% leads in Texas and Ohio into 3% and 10%– a victory in my book.

AWESOME!!

Yeah, and Hillary WILL NOT WIN! She is behind in delegates. Wait, what's that I hear? Oh, the Hillblazers complaining that "delegates don't matter?" THE DELEGATES ARE WHO ELECT THE NOMINEE! There is no way that the superdelegates will go against the elected delegate count AND the popular vote! He is up 600,000 votes over Hillary!! If the roles were reversed you would be saying the exact same thing and you know it!

Yes, Texas and Ohio were good for her, but she didn't run away with ANYTHING. She didn't gain that many delegates!

$55 million in February, $60 million in March. Obama didn't have to loan $5 million to his campaign to get donations, either.

YES WE CAN!

So many desperate oil barons, want him in….

Yes! The USA is up for sale…. Lets hope he loses his shirt…

…and those donations are coming form people who can only donate $15 at a pop (like me). It is money well spent to provide for the future of my children and grandchildren.

Yes, and $55 million more in March.

Why has CNN not covered the news in a balanced manner latley? Why is noone talking baout Clinton-Rezco connection?
Why is noone ever talking about the Clinton Canadian Nafta conversation?
Why is noone discussing Paul v Clinton in California???

CNN will never post this but at least they will read it once.

America loves Obama. That's why the polls showing winning the popular vote over both Clinton and McCain. This is not about a black or white, male or female thing. Americans all over just love this intelligent man with the vision to fix this country.

Who should be his running mate? I'd like Lou Dobbs. We'd have the best of all worlds, including someone who advocate sending the Clinton loving illegal aliens back where they belong.

YES WE CAN !!

Today I contributed another $25. I am proud and I feel good about this!

Billary has the high-rollers but we are the AMERICAN PEOPLE !

WE ARE MANY !

Glad to have contributed to this! I love to read all the Hillary suppoters posts! You say we are sore losers, but at least we acknowledge the fact that we lost and don't discount it. I think everyone needs to look at the margins and remember Obama was down by 20 points 2 weeks ago. We are on the way to the White House! Yes We Can!!!! (and will)

you do realize that clinton's net delegate gain was around 9, right?

that's less than the net obama won in iowa alone.

Republicans gave Hillary Texas and Ohio because they know she's easier to beat in the general election.

Obama/Richardson '08

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has the most pledged delegates, too.

And by the way folks, he got endorsements from 3 more superdelegates so far today – one in Vermont, one in New Mexico, and one forthcoming from West Virginia. Add that to the 2 from yesterday.

OH YEAH!!

OBAMA IN '08 BABY!!

YES WE CAN!!

well said jorge!!

three cheers for Obama…..goooo Barack

$55 million a month in donations and no strings? Yea right!

Great job Obama now get back to work. Its time to trow the knife back. No need to think she's lady, because she's not. Now knock her out. Demand them tax returns and foriegn documents.

Obama didn't "lose" Texas, folks! Wait till the caucus results come in, they're part of the Texas contest! All Hillary did is win Ohio. Her "big victories" on Tuesday are an illusion.

DID ANYONE HEAR HILLARYS BASHING MISS.?

He must have robbed a Bank!!!

Apparently there are more than a few people out there who are either so incredibly blinded by heavenly choirs that even their wallets open up to Obama or they actually see something in him that Clinton is trying to convince us isn't there. Personally, I am going to give the American public more credit than she does and err on the side of the "there's something there" crowd.

Go Obama, go !!!

Greetings from Europe!
We love you !!!!!!

Fine – I am off to donate more to the Clinton campaign.

hey why don't you all ask yourselves who has the most pledged delegates, most popular votes, and the most states won?

why don't you also ask how many federal lobbystis/PACS donated to the campaign?

yea, i thought so.

hillary is the same old politics. her top-down approach will not work. not now. not ever.

How 'bout them apples, Hillary?

Go BAMA.

END NAFTA. Protect our Jobs.

I detect lots of soon-to-be sore loser Hillary fans out there!

Ok Why do i care about how much they raised ,well i think the media is putting it out there for there choice barack hack Obama . Pich him we at the Media do. Am I right oh yes I am thats why from the begining before Iowa Cnn,La Times , NY Times, Chicago Sun Times , All ran by Ted Turner endorces Obama . WHY?

Your the ones backing Obama with the Money's donated threw family members so it doesn't look as if he is taking lobbyest moneys…. Right like I beleive in the change for a guy that take money from a con like rezko.

Old News! We knew this last week!

YES WE CAN!!!!

OBAMA/EDWARDS 08

$55 MILLION is impressive that is just too bad you obamabots have wasted your money. after outspending Hillary in TX and OH 3-1 obama still couldn't buy votes. Now Hillary on the other hand raised 35 million dollars after obamas 10 wins and now is raising 3.6 million a day…and she WON TX AND OH!

That is too bad CNN didn't show Hillary's press conference with the Generals and Admirals today, but surely this will shut the media up from parroting obamas garbage questioning Hillary's experience and now they should focus on obamas experience. It looks as though the media is reverting again.

Great job!!! Sill got the momentum!!!

I am one og those proud contributors.

We are going all the way….

Yes we can!!!

SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT DIDN'T STOP HILLARY FROM KICKING HIS BUTT ON TUESDAY!

OBAMA YOUR MONEY DOESN'T MATTER SHE STILL WON!! WHY DON'T YOU RELEASE YOUR RECORDS TO SHOW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FROM OPRAH AND REZKO?

OBAMA=LIAR

GO HILLARY!
GO HILLARY!

He spent most of it if not all in the state of Texas! He better get back to fund rasing!!

All I have to say is wow Mr. Obama your incredible!!

wow
i am sure if it takes the clinton dynasty and the republican of texas combined to beat obama by 3pts i wounder what he can do to mccain in the fall down in texas.

obama 08

Yes We can!!!!!!

Hillary, take that!

OBAMA '08!

old news! We knew this last weak!

That is pretty admirable and a reflection of his supporters determination. Likewise, Hillary has similar momentum, however, money doesn't mean winner…Obama outspent Hillary at minimum 2 to 1 and she still won the popular vote, in two states by double digits.

Now Hillary…SHOW ME YOUR TAX RETURNS…WHAT are you hiding?

We will never let you win until we know you are clean…

Small question dear CNN, why are you not reporting on the news from Canada where it became clear the the PM chief of Staff Ian Brodie stated that he was approached by Hillary Clinton staff about Nafta. Telling him to take it with a grain of salt whatever she would state. In the end it turn out that it was not Obama who contacted Canadian institutes but the CLinton Campaign !!!

Thats….a lot….wow.

Money in the bank shawty what ya drank?

Hillary, you're done. Get out of the race. Your Ohio and Texas victories, although impressive, were meaningless. You won, but not by enough to cut into Obama's lead.

You can't win on delegates, you'll be hard-pressed to win the popular vote, and there are clearly more Americans taking to his message of hope than your messages of spin and fear.

To go any further will be a vindictive exercise in blind, personal ambition.

Please, for the love of the democratic party, step aside.

OBAMA '08!!!

Wow. Great job Obama

chaCHING

This is why ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they work together. I am just a student with no money, but I will not have a problem given Obama $20. He is the future holder of this nation…
I respect Hill, but I think this is beyoung her. His nickname is Untouchable……Jack do you want to come back????

Go Barack Obama!!!! I bet there will be at least 65 million in March and he won't have to give himself a loan or take any kick-backs from drug companies, health insurance companies or Comic Strip Writers (Stan Lee) or Promoters (Peter Paul). Nor will his schedule be interrupted becasue he has to fly to Los Angeles to be deposed in a Fraud case that will probably to tot trial near the general election, that has gone all the way to the Supreme Court.

I am so glad to have contributed to that! The people own Obama's campaign, not special interests as in the Clinton campaign.

obama is looking for attention! He still lost even with that money, sad! hillary 08

guess he should have raised a 100 million in February, at least in that way he could have won more than 1 out of the 4 states – and the smallest one at that.

People don't give a rat's tail about the same speech over and over again, nor do they give a rat's tail that he outspends her 2:1 in nearly every state, I have my candidate and am very proud of her. She will be great.

I'm sure CNN will not post this on the Barack Obama Network. Oh well, at least I know in my heart that I wrote it.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama '08

Yes, we can!!!!!

I really don’t understand why you guys in the media are talking about the importance of winning the big states in the primaries. Let’s be honest and reasonable, there is no way Sen. McCain can win Ohio against Sen. Obama. Why? Here you go; first of all he strongly supports NAFTA and all of the trade treaties similar to it. Second of all, the majority of democrats voting for Clinton already said that they would vote for Obama if he would be the nominee. Third and final, the amount of new voters that came out and voted for Obama will remain coming out and voting for Obama; this is what makes the coalition bigger for him against McCain. And that is only for Ohio, let’s talk about some other big states. Does anyone remember that McCain lost Wisconsin, and Obama won it? Does anyone remember that McCain lost Michigan? What is clear is this: Clinton is winning the states that the Democrats will win in November no matter who is the nominee. Obama is winning red states by such a big margin, that it could result in a real fight for those red states against McCain in the general election. Why then is no one talking about Obama’s appeal to the people in these, so called, red states? These are states that Clinton doesn’t even dream to win, states where the only factor of having a Clinton on the Democratic ticket would make most of the people vote for McCain. I don’t understand why the media is playing a big role in confusing the American people, is for their own personal interests? I don’t understand why no one in the media is objective enough to see that the best candidate for the Democratic Party is someone that UNITES people from red states and blue states, young and old, rich and poor, whites and blacks, latino and asian. Not someone that is just trying to divide the country and the Democratic Party itself. She is trying to win at all costs, she is trying to destroy HOPE, and trying to end the dream of a UNITED country with her divisive old politics.

AND THEY SPENT 47MILLION IN 4 STATES ,,,,,AND LOST ANYWAY ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THEY SPENT 17 MILLION ON TV ADS AND RADIO ADS,,PLUS INDEPENDENT GROUPS ,,

HILLARY ONLY SPENT 7 OR 8 MILLION ,,,,AND WON ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SO MUCH OF ORGANIZATION ,SUCKER OBAMA[[[[[

And he still managed to lose Texas and Ohio bettcha people are wanting their money back
Hillary 08

Too bad he couldn't win with all that money!

HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
